We have lots of foxes and badgers here, I put out scraps sometimes but they are good at foraging, all local chickens are well protected at the moment because of avian flu, stout netting over runs too.
Today we had our lone Fieldfare again, apples are the main draw when thawed out a bit.

Posted on 16/12/2022 15:28 by JohnM20Now got just about a full set, blackbirds, mistle thrushes, redwings, fieldfares and song thrushes. The rate they're stripping the tree there'll be nothing left in a couple of days. Sat here watching them and getting nothing else done!

Posted on 10/12/2022 10:22 by Oldgirl and StaffyI 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?

My garden is full of food....but no birds.
Previous years I have had a very busy garden, birds coming and going constantly.
This year A couple of Blackbirds, 2 Wood pigeons and Robin....something is up.
I have just thrown away 2 feeders full of mildewed peanuts.
Something is definitely happening to our bird population.
