I think you just need to be patient - I've only just started putting food out after several weeks without and the birds are pretty slow returning. They've forgotten that the garden is a decent larder
and they're probably quite happy with the food they have in the wild. Give them a few weeks and colder weather and they'll come flocking back!

I know the previous residents had cats, but surely we should be attracting more than a very-occassional robin? 
Any ideas much appreciated. |
