I haven't seen any bats for several years now. They went when the council felled the pine trees at the back of our house. We have plenty of coal and blue tits. Long tailed tits come round regularly but no great tits, I gather they've been decimated by a virus. I haven't seen the robin since the babies fledged last month.
There are song and Mistle thrushes around and chaffinches and gold finches, but they don't come in the garden. Once our grapes are ripe I expect to inundated with every blackbird in Berkshire!

Hopefully, the birds will be back in the winter when food supplies are not so plentiful in the big wide world.

I happened to look out of the bedroom window about 4 am a few weeks back, and there must have been about ten bats swooping round the corner of the house. I was horrified! (I don't like bats) (I hope they don't live in our roof space and were just arriving home for the day)

No, not the kind you lot think about in the banter bar.
The type in our gardens.

I'm rather concerned about the small number of small birds I've seen in my garden this summer. I haven't seen my robin or the wren!

What is just as striking is that normally on a summers evening I would have frequent sightings of pipistrelle and soprano pipistrelle bats, this simmer I haven't seen one!

I am VERY concerned.
