Since Friday, most of the regular birds that seem to visit my feeder have just disappeared, with my garden only getting a fraction of what it used to. Does anyone have any idea why this is occurring? I’m pretty new to birding and I know it’s breeding season so does this factor in? A sparrow hawk attacked a nest, would this make any difference? Thanks, Ellis

The nesting blue taking advantage of the nesting materials I collected
Incidentally, he/she then decided to have a bite to eat from one of the feeders and promptly dropped everything..!
I saw this blackbird with a load of worms which he dropped after carrying one too many
