When they cleared my next door neighbour's garden they left a clump of pampas that had encroached into my garden.
I chopped down as much of the leaves as possible - oh so much space it's given me! But I left the plumes as last year the sparrows used them to line their nests.
The weeks passed but no sparrows. I wondered whether it was because of the loss of the bushes in Dorothy's garden. Then on Sunday afternoon just before I finished my session reading in my hammock I saw two sparrows collecting the fluff from the plumes. I saw them again when I opened the curtains on Monday morning.
Not as much activity as last year, but at least they have taken some.
A colleague at work spins, and those birds in her garden who line their nests get bits of alpaca wool!
