Every year we fight the monkeys - I wouldn't mind if they enjoyed the fruit, but they just take a bite from many almost ripe mangoes, then throw them to the ground. Here, our agile young assistant is picking some to beat the monkeys! I devised a new deterrent: playing extremely loud noises at them through a loudspeaker and amplifier. They do go, although they come back later - but it gives us some amusement listening to screams and gunfire!
