o.uk...
The birds are eating the bird seed and peanuts in our garden in Kent very
quickly,

The rate of consumption is much quicker than I have seen before.

Has anyone else noticed a similar high rate, or able to explain why this
is happening?


What kind of birds are you getting? There's loads of crows round these here
parts (Thanet) and plenty of magpies. More than usual, especially the crows.
I can't see how that is relevant but it's the only thing I can think of
that's different this year.
