Where are the birds?

I have quite a good show of birds to the feeder. They always leave any corn that is in the feed. We also have the established fruit trees that encourage them. For several years we've had a couple of doves

Every evening at about 7.30 the geese fly over, I love to hear them. Then in the morning they fly back over again in the opposite direction. I

And yes, just persevere with the feeding, it takes a while for them to trust a new station.

We still have some sparrows,doves and a resident robin here in our garden. Havet seen blackbird or blue tits for ages, but no doubt they will be back at some point. Here is a picture i took the other day of the robin in our garden.

We have blue tits, coal tits, great tits, robin (who keeps chasing off another one), dunnock, long tailed tits, wood pigeons, magpies (swing off feeders and damage them!), nuthatch and a pair of squirrels! Resident blackbird nowhere to be seen but this happened last year as well and he reappeared in Spring. He has a song with individual phrases in it so I'm pretty sure it's the same one. I live in the suburbs of a large city but have lots of trees in the garden and am near parkland. Ideal. Love watching the birds.

At last some action in the garden!
Something was flying in my garden.
Yesterday evening the bird table flew into the bushes.
Very windy yesterday.

Normally as soon as I put the food out in the morning the starlings descend but they have been missing for weeks. The fat balls in the feeder haven't been touched, though we are still getting a variety of tits on the hanging feeder - when they can elbow the hordes of goldfinches out of the way. A blackbird comes and eats the berries and I guess once the visitors from Europe arrive we'll have loads of them again but generally the garden is much quieter than I would expect in this current cold snap.
