... not heard of that before! What sort of damage have they done?

I think I've mis-spelt pigeons, too. They've "trimmed" the ends of
the card (the summer cards, you'll remember, stick out of the holder).
Big beak marks, too. Can't think it's anything else.

Philip. I seem to remember that it was the Magpies and Crows that destroyed
the sunshine cards at Beaufort Park. I have a feeling that someone put a
chicken-wire cage around the sunshine recorder, but can't be certain if it
was at BP that I saw this.
