Since Autumn chunks of moss

Round here it's the crows and rooks that dislodge the moss while
pecking to find insects of some sort.

This is the first year that this has been happening.



Scrap bits of lead flashing bent around the copper wire at
intervals might have had more effect at detering moss.

I use a long extending decorators pole with a garden hoe
connected to end, so I can stand at the top of the ladder
at eaves height and reach most of the roof.

The moss seems to have grown with a vengeance that last
couple of years. The 2018 drought didn't semm to banish
it all.

A south-facing roof should be less badly affected by moss
because it gets the sun, surely ?.
