Since we started summer feeding two years ago, there has been a huge decline in the numbers of birds and numbers of species coming for the food: a tenth the number of various kinds of tits and of blackbirds, etc., and, most worryingly, no parents of any kind feeding young except crows, magpies, and jackdaws.

We have two active farms, one at either end of our village. At my end the farmer is very proactive in destroying corvids to protect his lambs. At the other the farmer does nothing to control these pests. Surprise, surprise, we have dozens of species of song-bird feeding in our garden. Villagers at the other end are wondering why they have none. Forget the cats - get a Larsen trap.
