I have my bird feeder nailed to a large sycamore tree which had become to large and blocking some light out. The birds don't nest in it but I would see them in the branches. I have decided that it needs to be tamed and knowing sycamores they will sprout again. However since I have cut it I am worry about my feathered friends. I have enclosed a before and after photo, there is lots of cover around, they love the honey suckle which is growing on the arch. So I think I need some reassurance from my fellow bird fans that i haven't done anything which could have a detrimental affect . (I know I should have asked before said tree go the chop)
Please have a looksey at my Flickr photos https://www.flickr.com/photos/karaokequeen/
I find that garden birds adapt to new features very quickly, and it looks as though you have plenty of alternative roosting / refuge sites.
What species are you observing at present?
I think C that all will be well, they will know something has happened but it looks like you have lots of shrubs and bushes there, they will be back, I am sure.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Hi, thank you. I'm seeing lots of sparrows, blue/coal/great tits, dunocks, robins, black birds. The odd gold finch, chiffchaff, long tail tit. I would normally see a nuthatch but haven't seen them all summer it's been busy this summer feeding them all.
