I've been trying to get birds in to the garden for two winters now, and very rarely see anything at my feeders. The attached photo shows the layout of my garden, and my on remaining feeder hanging. (Others are down for cleaning).
Could anyone recommend placing and type of feeder to encourage birds in?
In case it's relevant, on the right side, my neighbour has a nice, well planted garden (with cat, but my lurcher has discouraged her from visiting our garden too often now ) On the left, there is a totally concrete garden with no plants whatever. Two doors down there is also a very large aviary, with some particularly vocal parakeets, etc. Just over that hedge is the railway line! Are my surroundings discouraging the birds? Would I be better with a birdtable, rather than hanging feeders, or both? Am I on to a total loser?
Thanks for any help,
Gareth Evans
