Hi there, this is my first post so hope I'm in the right place.
I hang all my bird furniture on a large mature Escallonia bush in my back garden and it's usually alive with birds most of the time. Generally the common garden visitors.
However the bush was getting quite large so I had to get it cut back a bit.
I've now hung out some brand new feeders (Nuts, seeds/mealworms/fat balls/niger seeds) and the numbers of visitors has drastically reduced. In fact I'm wondering where they've all gone. I have a bird table down the end of the garden with nuts and seeds and that seems to get a lot more visitors.
Is it the changed shrub, the new feeders or something else that's causing the sudden lack of birds and if so will they all come back in time?
