Hello, I'm after some help.
Over the past few years, crows have been nesting in two large sycamore trees outside my house. Initially a single nest, by last year it had grown to four and this year it seems they're coming back.
I like birds; I was a member of the Lavenham Junior Bird Club in 1977 after all, and I've nothing against crows per se, but they're very loud and there are thousands of trees around my village which are a lot further away from my bedroom window than these two. There's obviously something about these two trees that is attractive to the crows and that's great, I'm happy for them.
In the past I've temporarily scared them off at this time of year by loud clapping and this winter I've even laid a couple of "dead crow" decoys around the garden. I thought these were working...but no. They're back.
Can anyone offer me anything to make me think I'm lucky to have these huge noisy things outside my bedroom year after year? Perhaps I can grow to appreciate them!
