We're have the birds gone

Until recently my garden feeders and the surrounding trees were buzzing with small birds . Blue tits great tits long-tail tits coal tits dunocks were all common visitors. Along with blackbirds Robins wrens Wood pigeons and other less frequent visitors.

They totally ignored next doors lazy cat and only disappeared for twenty minutes or so when a female sparrow hawk made an occasional appearance.

However the last few days all the small birds have vanished . Not just in my garden but also can't see any on my neighbours feeders or the surrounding trees.Just the wood pigeons and the robin left.

Just wondering were they have gone.

They are most likely in the wider area. With warmer temperatures they are finding food easier to find.

They are also already looking at nest sites.

Blue tits have been checking my bird box out already, I don't have a bird feeder but I would think that while birds appreciate being fed when food is hard to come by at other times they would rather feed away from flocks of other birds.

Still too early for them to be looking for nesting sites here.
The small birds eat at my feeders all year round without any problem.

Guess I'll never know but there were loads of birds around last September when I first put the feeders up and all winter so something to do with nesting seams like a good bet.

Same here, I have barely seen any for days but this often happens with us. I think they “ do the rounds” and from time to time must move to another area. They always come back.
