Default Where have all the squirrels gone?

In article ,

After a barren few weeks the birds are starting to return, mainly tits,
in fact this morning for a few minutes they were mobbing the feeders. A
woodpecker turned up yesterday, but strangely not a sparrow in sight,
yet last year they were as frequent as the tits. we'll see what happens
when the cold really sets in.



We've had a return of the birds over the last week or
so. Fair number of tits, the odd goldfinch and just a
few sparrows. Saw a woodpecker yesterday for the first
time for months.

Round here the trees are loaded with berries and nuts,
so I suspect they are still all on the "fresh food!"
