Similar problem Sago in fact they fly over our garden to go next door, I think our problem is next door have small trees, we don’t. So, I’ve put in a small Cherry and crab apple but think I’ll be waiting a goodly while.

I feel your pain ☹️ Like you we have tried everything.
I think between us we’ve kept the mealworm industry going.

It was my birthday last week, our children gifted me a very generous garden centre voucher.
With some of the money I bought a bird feeding station, I researched the positioning, types of food etc, my husband put it up yesterday.

I had visions of it being the ornithological equivalent of a Gordon Ramsay opening night, it’s more like a boarded up McDonald’s on an industrial estate.

So I’m sitting here watching a big jackdaw flying at the mealworms and a wood pigeon below pecking at the resulting spillage, no robins,tits siskins or sparrows.

My feeding station has to be better than any other in the village, it offers variety, quality and every feeder is full.

How do I get word out?
