What have you seen

I know the title of this thread is ‘What have you seen’ but is anyone like me concerned about what they have not seen?    
We feed the birds in our garden from autumn through to late spring. This year the sparrows and starlings are there as usual but there seem to be few blue tits, great tits and chaffinches.  Is it a consequence of bird flu I wonder?

Good post, I think most of us are on the lookout for changes. In our garden all the birds are OK except we lost all our greenfinches following the pox outbreak a few years back. We have lots of Bluetits etc but the cold won't help weak individuals like our one Bluetit with few feathers remaining. 

Hope things improve!

We lost nearly all species for almost 2 weeks & thought the same OG&S but they’re all back & then some. I’ve just ID’d a Twite(thanks RSPB) only once mind, it was sat in a Maritime pine watching a Great tit & Blue tit bickering over the Sunflower hearts🤷🏻‍♂️😊

Our birds vanished in August when the weather was hot. The blackbirds vanished and only one female remained. The magpies, jackdaws and crows are greatly diminished but I did spit a Jay the other day.

Luckily, we are still seeing most of our regulars, including Blue, Great, Coal and Long Tailed Tits. Lots of Blackbirds and Sparrows, Robins, we have resident Jackdaws, Magpies. Heavy frost here for last few days, with no sign of temps dropping below zero, so we are feeling and watering like mad at the moment. So lovely to see garden birds, they need such help in this kind of weather😁

We have a large bramble apple tree in the garden we has produced a bumper crop of apples we have given up on clearing away the fallen apples and being idle has paid off as we have now  attracted loads of Blackbirds, Redwings, Fieldfares, Thrushes to our garden 

We've seen Redwings passing through at the bottom of the garden and there were a few Fieldfares in the centre of the village where there are some Rowan trees with berries on.

Still have all of our usual freeloaders in and around the garden. Tough at the moment as temp below freezing and snow gently falling.

Can't believe the number of buds on the Camelia when we covered it over the other day to save it from the frost.

I’m breaking 3/4” pieces of ice from the cast iron water fountain & taking a boiled kettle for the smaller pieces👍🏻

We have not seen any birds watt the feeders for a while ,just hoping that bird flue has not desimated them

I did worry about encouraging the birds to the feeder station this year, due to bird flu and them gathering. I’m glad that I did though, it has been so busy today in the freezing weather, many different types as well.
