Default Garden Birds

Birds in the last few days have been very sparse - usually get a few
Blackbirds, one male with a white patch on his right chest - been here a few
years, Robins, Sparrows and the mandatory Ring Necked or Collared Doves and
pigeons.

However two days ago had a sparrow hawk perched on the main feeding
station - only seen the pigeons the last day or two.

Have tried to attract tits and other species with sunflower hearts and nigra
seed - over the last three months but to know avail - my friend a few
streets away gets loads feeding from feeders filled with those seeds.
