I have hardly any bird visitors to my garden now. I put quite a bit
of bread out, front and back and have just retrieved it thismorning,
untouched. Can't work out why there are so few birds here. There are
fields 50 yards away. There is one cat which wanders around.
A few blackbirds have been feasting on the pyracantha berries. No
sigh of the fieldfares or redwings which visited during last winter's
snow.
We ate all our bread sauce!

Possibly the cat is responsible.
We are a cat free zone and the feeding population can be measured in dozens
including six blackbirds.

We have tons of birds too and a lot of cats.
I think the hedges help. Although the 6+ blackbirds do tend to run
round like they're on the benny hill show sometimes...

The tits and sparrows tend to only appear for limited times so I
assume they've got a big network of feeding places. The blackbirds
lurk almost constantly.

We have had a flock of seagulls before xmas but I think they're gone
now.
