When we moved into our house, I decided to put a stand out, with several feeders hanging from it. The feeders remained full for aaaaaages, nothing came. It must have taken several weeks (poss even a few months) before they started coming. All it takes is for 1 or 2 birds to discover the food and start feeding .... trust me they'll come ..... eventually.
Maybe you could put some bright/shiny objects out near the food, that may (or may not) attract them ??

Good morning Boaty. We've actually got 3 of these saucers , about a foot across, on a wall near to the bird feeder the birds love them and have a right old splash about! But you are all right in that it takes time for the birds to find the feeders but once they do they will become regulars. We are lucky we live behind so woods so we get lots including greater spotted woodpeckers and nuthatches.
