Ann I know exactly what you mean. It's a sinking feeling but hopefully the birds are nesting somewhere. It's spookily quiet here too. My cameras are off and I am resisting the urge to put them on again as the lack of action does affect your mood. During the pandemic I shared the nesting with the village on Facebook and as a result lots of people put up boxes with cameras. Good for the birds but I fear the nesters are trying out the new sites The temperatures here though are still nothing to write home about. Maybe as we are on the coast and exposed I don't Know
Dust if you must but wouldn't it be better To watch the birds ...........
