Tufty grass

noticed tufty patches of grass appearing on our lawn. Vaguely wondered about them.,



Just looked out of window and seen a magpie digging up patches with it's beak.



Never noticed that before (and I'm nearly 50). Now I know why everyone elses lawn has tufts too ....


Ah yes, have you figured out what tasty morsel they are after?

Not really - worms ?

My interest in things horticultural stops at grass cutting ...

I can't raise that much interest!

Possibly leatherjackets. Which are bad news for your grass.

Over on uk.rec.gardening someone had their new lawn destroyed that way.

Possibly Frit fly. You get 3 generations per year.
