I have never seen a a sparrowhawk, but I do have magpies around occasionally however it doesn’t stop the birds feeding from the bird table and the other feeder 🤷‍♀️

There is a lot of natural food at the moment but the biggest cause in our garden is the Sparrow Hawk who circles round frequently!

This peanut feeder has been out for a week and as far as I can see the birds have not touched it.
I also have a bird table that has suet pellets and mealworms on and another feeder as you can probably see with sunflower hearts.
I know birds are naturally suspicious. I just wondered why it’s been so long and why they are showing no interest in it.
