I don’t mind worms but they don’t last 5 minutes in our garden with all the birds. When it was pouring with rain last Saturday there must’ve easily been 10 blackbirds on our lawn pulling up worms. Then a robin appeared and started dive bombing them. It was like a scene from The Birds 🤣I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5
