This winter wasn't good for garden birds in SW London. Greenfinch and
Goldfinch numbers were down, no siskins, no sparrows, starlings became
rare and we hardly saw any chaffinches.

I wonder whether other gardeners in the area had the same experience.

Plenty of Greenfinches, Chaffinches, Blue/Coal/Great tits, Wrens,
Dunnocks, a few sparrows, noticed the lack of Starlings especially as I
still have fruit on one of the Cabbage/Cornish palms (Cordyline australis)
which they normally go mad for, no Blackcap either which has visited for
the last few winters. Plenty of Wood Pigeons and Collared Doves too.
