Default Birds and the heat

There seem to be a couple of sparrows, and the odd tit around, but
nothing like last week. Do you thinlk they've gone off their food
because of the heat?

(It is not that they been attracted by someone elses feeder, as there
are only a few houses here, and only a couple of those feed the birds)




Maybe they're enjoying lots of juicy spiderlings :~( and other juicy
creatures. Also, there's a good crop of berries this autumn.
