Usually I have to fill my hanging seed feeder and dish up every 2-3 days. Now, the level hasn't dropped for about 3 weeks.

I noticed one sparrow yesterday. But I hardly see any at the moment.

I live in Chelmsford, in Essex. Anyone else noticed this?

There has been a significant drop in all species of birds visiting my feeders over the last year.

The sparrows down here in Sussex have certainly recovered from a massive population drop. This year there seem to be very few finches in the garden but huge numbers of tits. They're costing us a small fortune in suet pellets.
