I know the previous residents had cats, but surely we should be attracting more than a very-occassional robin?

Any ideas much appreciated.
Tricky time of year I suppose, especially with the bumper harvests of blackberries, haws and plum type fruit, still lots of flies about too, I'm sure they willl turn up when times are harder...
