In recent days, bird feeding has picked up again after a lull of some weeks – I noted this before but the pace has picked up . I unsure whether this hiatus was the usual height-of-summer lull of visible bird activity, or reflected an pause in feeding. I am inclined to the former, as when I got back feeding resumed with feed largely untouched for weeks. Young tits, greenfinches and siskins are making up for lost time now, as well as the corvid crew – but no chaffinches I can see.
