How do you keep the starlings from getting all the ripe ones Fraggan?
Use a carabine de jardin or..... overhere I shoot them with the airrifle, but to no great succes When I shoort one, a hundred come to the funeral....

It's very rare to see a starling here,we're way out in the country,I worry more about the jays,but for some reason (perhaps because of the abundance of wild cherries this year) they haven't been near.
However there's lots of plums this year,I'll have to protect them or they'll be decimated,I can only put plastic/nylon netting over the smaller trees _________________

The oldest "eau de vie"I have,dates from 1983,I also have 1993 and 1996 (plums are abundant about every three years) the'83 is kept especially for guests but unfortunately is almost finished;
For those of you who've never tasted it,it's an alcohol distilled from plums and is quite lethal,my dad called it 'Tigers milk'
