Birds eat all the fruit cancelling National Trust pick-your-own - BBC News

A pick-your-own cherries event at a National Trust property in Cornwall has been cancelled after blackbirds ate all the fruit.

Due to be held on 28 June the event was set to span over five days at Cotehele, a medieval house and grounds in Calstock.

But Laura Jarman from the National Trust said 80 trees had been cleared of cherries as they had been "feasted on by very cheeky blackbirds".

I think I have tried all of them. I really miss having access to sour cherries to make my (kind of world famous) Vishnatka (learned it from my brother's ex-father-in-law in Iran back in the 80s) and been making it using normal cherries here in France.

Right now, I have 2 jars of it made in 2018 and 2019, not fun drinking it alone!

Also, they were part of my childhood memories, helping my mother clean them up, wash them up and take the pits out for her to make jam, jelly and juice.
