Yes, I've noticed the same thing. I've put out bags of peanuts and

haven't seen even one bird at the feeder this winter. And like you, the
only birds in my garden are starlings. Very odd indeed.

do you have a big cat population ??

Barry is in Essex. Where are you?

I'm in Clackmannanshire (between Stirlingshire and Fife) and I've had
loads of action at the bird feeder this winter, including robins,
blackbirds, collared doves, blue tits, great tits, sparrows, chaffinches,
a wren, a pied wagtail, greenfinches and goldfinches.

The one bird I haven't had interested was starlings. They and the
rooks just make noise from on top of the TV aerials.

woodpecker ,lesser spotted,..my feeders have attracted a load of
birds,

We had over 50 waxwings roosting in the trees across the road from us
last weekend while they carried out swooping raids on the berry-laden
street trees outside our house. The berries, and the waxwings, have
gone now. We are in South Manchester.
