Attracting garden birds
Hi folks
After a recent removal of a neighbour's hedge between our two properties there has been significantly less birds visiting my garden feeders ,the hedge was obviously great cover and protection for them but any suggestions as to the best way of attracting them back ? Thanks .

1: hang up some bird feeders, and
2: don't have a cat.
You can always help by planting a couple of shrubs, or similar, for the future, and some low growing planting.
Is there going to be new boundary put in place though? Even if it's a fence, you can add climbers etc, as long as you agree it with the neighbour if they pay to put the fence in. That will give cover for birds.
If not, you could possibly make a simple screen of trellis and add climbers, with a few other shrubs and areas of ground cover alongside them. Two pieces forming a 'corner' would be fine. It would depend how your garden is laid out, of course.
