What is a grape but a fruit - just like blackberries, raspberries and sloes... It has to be tastier than the ivy and firethorn berries that a blackbird and what looks suspiciously like a cross between a thrush and a blackbird (I suspect it's a female blackbird with a mottled breast because it's not pale enough and the wrong shape to be a thrush) have been systematically stripping from my garden fences. Perhaps I'll hang one of my bunches of elderly grapes from the firethorn and watch what happens....
