Horrible - you must dread looking out there at the moment

Do you have a blind or curtains on your window? Just in the short term, I'd live with them closed and the light on inside - not great I know, but just until you can sort something out more permanent ?

Let us know how you get on.

I feel quite bad that there are so many of them. This has just started recently, we never had this problem here previously. I don't know what's changed.

It's a large window (son's bedroom) that they seem to be targeting. There are cream curtains on the window just now and I've told him to keep them closed but he has learning difiiculties and forgets sometimes.

I'm going to the garden centre later today to see if I can buy more sun catcher type things to string along it or see if they have anything else that might help.

My big blue plastic box full of kitchen roll and an old towel is beginning to be known as 'sick bay' now. We keep it ready to use in the back porch.

How about something similar to these near the window:
