We notice that the birds are nibbling on the unprotected grapes - and have even gotten underneath the nets to nibble there. 
So, we re-fortified with more clothespins at the base of the nets, and on exposed clusters implemented the 'cute' trick - wrapping a paper bag around maturing clusters.
Also tested our sugar - after a heatwave during the 3-day weekend we were sure we'd be harvesting immediately, but turns out we're only at 22.5 brix as of today. We'll let them keep hanging for now!
