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!

I believe bread -- even wholemeal -- isn't good for the birds, though: too
much bulk for too little nourishment after it's absorbed all the moisture it
can find in the avian tum.
