Where have all the birds gone

Here in South Darenth our birds have disappeared. We have just one Magpie we used to have lots of them. I have one Robin who comes once a day, we used to have lots of Blue Tits, Sparrows. I have tried various types of food, fat balls, suet block, suet and worms to tempt them even peanuts. But nothing

    Am wondering if this could be due to more folk feeding birds during the British Garden Birdwatch weekend so more choice of feeding stations before they reach yours?

    Over what time period? Has anything changed? Garden been cleared of trees/shrubs/hedge? New cat(s) to the area? Roof repairs made to your house or houses in the immediate area?

    We have observed the same down on the South Coast. Very few visits to our feeders or the birdbaths. This is a great contrast to previous years. The garden hasn't changed but a neighbour now has three cats and we often see them stalking squirrels and birds. We weren't sure if this was the cause or just a random observation. We know that other neighbours feed foxes and I have caught them in the past on a camera trap, could that also contribute?
