I don't know what has happened, from having a mass of birds on the feeders
suddenly yesterday there were almost none, I saw less birds on them
yesterday than I had been seeing in 15 mins. today is the same, it's almost
as if they have all migrated, but Tits etc. just don't do that.
Anyone else had the same?

Probably a Hawk around, happened to us and then one landed in the garden
clutching a hapless pigeon.

We sometimes see what I take to be a sparrowhawk swoop past our feeders
and disappear, skimming over next door's hedge. It could do with a few
lessons in wood-pigeon nabbing as it never seems to catch any of the
multitude round here!
