All my little songbirds disappeared from the garden for a week or so because there was a sparrow hawk around in the area but they have now come back. However, I have noticed that they don't chirp as much when they come over to feed and neither do they spend most of the day in the garden as they used to. Perhaps they know that the noise also attracts him especially when they are enjoying their baths and feeding because they often have little scraps between themselves.
Now Squidge and Squish the squirrels have gone missing too. They haven't been over to feed for a few days, neither in the early morning or in the evening. This is most unusual because they have sometimes missed a day but they have never stayed away for this long so I hope that noting has happened to them.
It seems strange that none of the squirrels have been into the garden because they have been coming for several years and I think I have also had successive generations. They have had to find their way around various road and building works in the past so I don't think that's the problem this time. My biggest fear is that someone has put poison down or trapped them and disposed of them so I hope this isn't the case.
All I can do is wait to see if they return and I really don't think squirrels go on holiday either.
