I live in the centre of a town and last year I saw starlings, sparrows, blue tits, great tits, robins,wagtails, collar doves,fieldfares,wrens and a sparrow hawk. This year the 20 foot high shrubs behind my house were removed to make a carpark and despite putting out a variety of foods, I have only seen two feral pigeons at the same time every afternoon. Its very disappointing. I will have to plant some quick-growing shubs to encourage them to come back. The pigeons must be near too fat to fly!
