Been very quiet in my garden too, but they are slowly starting to come back. Blue and Great Tit are back and feeding a little, as are the Blackbirds and Thrush. Crows and Wood pigion never left!
Never get any Sparrows or Starlings which is really sad, but did get two Yellow Wagtail this week (not on the feeders)
Sounds like hundreds of Tawney Owls around, a few, one male in particular very close, but still never seen one, so close and yet so far!
Still sure they'll all be arriving soon, so stocking up on grub.
