I pulled out all the stops this year to attract birds into my garden. I put a big fat feast and 2 small fat balls , raisins cheese and seeds out. Eventually my small back yard was inundated with starlings, i counted 35 at one time. I usually see more blackbirds but maybe they were put off by the starlings.
I put out my usual food and a couple of home made birdcakes I introduced yesterday but fewer starlings turned up today.
