I can't understand why they don't visit me anymore.
My garden is a bout 40ft by 15ft(Ithink) Other than 3 fir trees and one lilac tree the rest of it is just plain old lawn. Up until just over 2 years ago i had a Dog that used to dash out the door when ever he got the chance,as fast he could. The odd thing is that I would still get a mix of Bird visitors. Not hundreds but enough to keep me busy topping up the feeders. I used to get Sparrows,blue and great tits,the odd Robin or two and what I miss most of all Greenfinches. I havn't seen a Starling in I don't know how long. I do have a couple of Blackbirds hanging around and I think they have a nest near by but I hardly ever see anything else and the food is never touched.(Ido change food and wash the containers by the way)
My neighbour does have a Cat but she has kept cats for years. i have a mix of different feeders around the Garden in different places to try and encourage them and I have had a bird bath for years. I wish the Birds would come back
