More Vandals

Previously I've had rosellas vandalising salvias, and wallabies eating roses. Today I discovered another garden threat.

Early this morning, one of our security cameras captured a few cockatoos doing something down by the vegie garden:

But it was several hours before we discovered exactly what they had done:

Destroyed a clump of daffodils!

They not only chomped through all the flower stems, they chomped the actual flowers as well:

There are quite a few daffodils about to open in other parts of the garden, but now I'm thinking I better cut them and bring them inside before the cockies come back for another go!

Elsewhere in the garden, a happier happening:

The first sweet pea to pop up! I forgot to plant them in March, the traditional sweet pea sowing time. I finally put them in about 3 weeks ago and we've had some cold weather since then. But today was sunny, and the first seed is up. And looking at the photo I think there could be another one about to appear on the far left. Hooray!
