I've noticed over this winter that the birds coming to the garden appear to be dwindling. Today, the seed feeders are lying untouched, the peanuts are going down very slowly and there's barely a dent in the fatballs. Usually at this time of year I canny keep them filled!
This morning it's quite eerie. I've only seen one bluetit.
I could always rely on a flock of pidgeons mopping up the seeds on the ground but even they have deserted me.
I have seen the crow and a bird of prey ? which one, picking off smaller birds during the very bad days but surely they couldn't have wiped out the entire population.
Is it just me or is anyone else experiencing this strange situation?
