The garden has been very quiet of late, if not devoid, of all bird life especially over the last 6 weeks or more. I started to wonder if something was wrong, its as if someone had flicked a switch and they were gone,No Sparrows ,No Blackbirds, No Wrens etc etc ..Once the birds had all gone I did notice the very odd Coaltit show up occasionally on its own and the feeder hadn`t been topped up for ages ..

Fast forward til today and I noticed large numbers of birds have returned , again as if someone had flicked a switch, there were flocks of Sparrows ranging between 12 to 20 at a time , Blackbirds,Wrens and 4 or 5 Pairs of Bluetits following each other over to the feeder ( I have only 1 feeder ) also saw 3 or 4 adult Robins .. There were no Goldfinches at all and usually there`d be 3 or 4 families around .. Very strange .. Anyone else notice this happening in their area .. Im in Belfast Northern Ireland

Around this time of year they are often feeding on natural food. The Sparrows are rampant in our blackberry bush right now, none on the feeders though.
