Not unexpected. They’ll be back. There’s loads of food out there so they can find food quite readily, and adult birds are also starting their midsummer moult. When they moult their flying abilities are poorer and they’re vulnerable to predation, so many of them are quiet and skulking until they get their new plumage.
A few months ago we got loads of birds in our garden. Lots of starlings (and young), robins, etc. Now we barely get any. Is this expected during summer or do we need to tempt them back somehow?
