The Big Garden Bird Watch?
Or in my case the ever so little garden bird watch. Where have all the birds gone? In previous years I would be getting 14 or 15 species a day and they would empty a feeder full of seed in less than a day. This year for the hour I managed 5 species. I can fill a feeder and it lasts days.
I don't know if it is the mild winter, a surfeit of local feeders or the periodic fly past by the local Sparrow Hawk which is keeping them away. Possibly a combination of all the above. Although I haven't seen many new feeding stations locally and the Sparrow Hawk has been visiting for years.
Anyway a through the window shot of one of the few birds which turned up is today's choice.
