Hi Neville,
Yes there seems to be a big change and I hope its not man made..
Three/four times a day I had 5-9 birds flying over my house and I knew the trees they would land and rest...It wasn't gradual they just went missing..
Strange.

Parakeet post.
Parakeets flying over house: Lupin close, Whittle.
What used to be a regular occurrence is now a rarity... But I saw two yesterday which was great.
Also: The usual family of Buzzards...There seems to be only three now, two of which are adults!!
