We are suffering more than normal with winged garden pests - anyone else having a similar problem.

Looks like an idyllic scene - bluetits enjoying the bird feeder:-

It was until this bird decided it was his feeding table - swooping down and grabbing young birds at will:-

Then when he goes the bird feeder is taken over by these pests:-

Whole flocks of them have stripped our fruit trees and now are terrorising the other birds to get at the feed - as if that wasn’t bad enough the racket they make has to be heard to be believed!
