Where have all the birds gone?

-

MY granddaugh­ter Charley bought me this beautiful feeder, it’s supposed to be squirrel-proof. It’s been in place now for about two weeks, and so far no nuts have been taken, there are no birds and no squirrels are about, and we have lots of trees but no wildlife, not even pesky pigeons. Where are they?

Pat Coomer, Hornchurch, Essex Wendy says:

September is a quiet month for wildlife in the garden – but rest assured, as soon as food in the countrysid­e becomes scarce and the weather turns colder, they’ll be back!
