Bird Feeding Blues

I have made use of a small bedroom at the front of my house as my study. The room faces out onto the main road into my local housing estate and my view is constricted by the other houses on the other side of the road.

However, there is a mature wild cherry which softens the hard landscape as I look out of the window.

None-the-less I wanted to provide some additional area of interest so I bought a bird feeder and filled it with the recommended feed - no peanuts please!

I like to spend time out in the local countryside and dig in my garden so often get a visit from Robins and daring blackbirds, but I thought it be good to encourage a wider variety of bird life in a position well away from the fluff ball of a cat we call Nancy, who really fancies herself as huntress bar none.

So far - and its been four days now - the feed level has remained the same and I have not seen any bird, not one tit even!

So is it me or the feathered fraternity that have the bird feeding blues?
