We have a large colony of sparrows both back and front living in the ivy and hedges
They have been there for years

They eat a prodigious amount of bird seed and when we go away for long periods our grandson fills the feeders

We went for a week to the lakes without worrying about the feeders

When we got back they were empty, refilled them all but not one single sparrow--all gone

the garden is eerie so quiet

Have they left us for good ?

Hi Sandra,

There is a huge amount of fruit on the trees at the moment so they are probably off somewhere stuffing themselves with berries.

So long as they keep away from the sloes I don't mind.

I saw a Jay in my garden, for the first time, yesterday. I'll tell him to go up and visit you if I see him again.

We too, a few years ago had feeders etc. One year they seemed to disappear. As I thought for the same reason as you, we'd gone away. I always thought they were always about. I spoke to a blokey at work and he said they, this time of year, do disappear but come back later. This has been the fact since that time. He did tell me why, which was feasible, but have since forgotten the reason. I can ask if you wish.

We are inundated with them at the moment. Bird bath has to be refilled twice a day with them splashing.

Smile It's amazing that some of you still have swallows, they're long gone from our area, away to warmer climes.
We had a colony of about 30-40 swallows in our little cul-de-sac. Every year I saw them gather and leave for the winter,and then watched anxiously for them as they trickled back in the Spring in ones and twos.
In 2011 not one of our sparrows came home in the Spring.
Maybe a new colony will form next year. I hope so, I miss them. Sad

The introduced red kites in the Chilterns are spreading further and further out.

Recently on a journey from Aylesbury to Henley on Thames we saw many of these birds whirling overhead but a complete lack of any other birds at all.

For the last half of the journey, we only saw these birds and none other.
