We have recently had great success, first with swallows/swifts (?} perching on a lifeline; and, this week, with a family of Indian Miners (?) on steps leading to our dock. It appears birds get into habits of frequenting particularly suitable places. If you can break that habit, they seem to be happy to find elsewhere. We achieved that by stringing-up a few lines of nylon fishing line across the area. This was easy with the lifeline problem but with the steps has been a bit of a nuisance for the past few days, and required a bit of care ........but it has worked!!! We hope it is a more or less permanent solution. We will remove the line soon. Eddie
