We still have tits and the occasional starling and woodpecker. Blackbirds still enjoy turning the leaves over.
Not many pigeons though - hadn't realised until you said.

Pigeons are all here. Flock of over 1,000 took off from the fields this morning.

There was a spell up till this week where I didn't see many, but now the balcony is awash with bluetits and great tits again, feeding from the nut feeder. And the birdfood I threw out last night onto the frosty surface was all gone by 10 am, though I've no idea what ate it all, I wasn't up to see.

Our garden is constantly full of birds: house sparrows,greenfinch, chaffinch, bullfinch, goldfinch, siskins, blue tits and coal tits are all regulars to the feeders. Blackbirds, thrushes and robins eat anything that hits the floor. Thankfully the pigeons seem to be leaving us along right now - they make such a mess. Great spotted woodpecker comes by most days and the sparrow hawk has been known to perch on the finial of the bird feeder trying to catch its self a meal. We were on the jetty at Nairn this morning and saw over 400 Bar Tailed Godwit… spectacular!

Thanks for your replies, we live in hope of seeing the birds again I have just put some suet out that might entice the birds back?

Got lots of Fieldfares, eating the windfall apples.

They flew in for a day Owdb, hope they come back there are lots of windfalls for them, its turned mild here and less activity but still empty two seed feeders a day.
It was funny the other day, I bought a big bag of fat balls from the same pet shop as normal but a different brand, its taken three days before they would try them!
Mostly sparrows and tits, a woodpecker and pheasants, oh collared doves too...

No fieldfares in the garden so far but big flocks of them in hawthorn trees half an hour's drive away. Tevour try sunflower kernels the birds will just about commit murder for those… We've got the containers of peanuts, one of sunflower kernels and the suet balls, out of their green jackets, in a hanging frame. During the day it is unusual for there not to be birds on them all. A tray on the patio table has various scraps it is safe to feed the birds. Am now using goose fat to roast veggies so can add the scraps of these too.

Masses of birds in my garden. I'm refilling a large nut feeder twice a day.... they're eating me out of house and home!

Well given we are scattered across the UK they may not be the birds that are missing from your garden!

Previous question
It is the same in my garden. We have a 'luxury' feeder ....nuts, seeds, fat balls etc etc....a few months ago we had them queuing up to feed now not one. Perhaps it is the abundance of berries around? I miss them.....I wish they would return......no pigeon need apply!
