When I was a kid we were getting so many yellowhammers around our birdfeeder in winter. Sometimes more than sparrows and great tits. Now they barely show up. I just hope its because they have enough food, not because there is less of them.

Oh that's sad, let's hope they find enough. There is generally ups and downs in population but many birds suffer from the insect decline we had during the last 20-30 years.
I can remember when I was a child we always had to clean the windshield of the cars from the dead insects, now I barely do it.
