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.

Alternatively, it may be good for these birds and they have no need to
search out the food put out in gardens!

I found a very health crop of greenfly on a rose ove the weekend!
