Reminds me of the Frenchman when he found himself monorchid in Alsace.

Ha!
It is nice. I would assume you have backyard birds in England? Perhaps you are in the city. I have woods directly behind my house which helps with the diversity and abundance of birds. I am trying to think of all the species I have seen at my feeder and it is pretty healthy. But, so is the cost, let's just say I am on a first name basis with the owner at the local bird feed store.
It is worth it. Not only helping the bird populations, but I can see the feeder from my office window (most images are taken from the window) and it is nice to lean back and watch the birds during stressful days.

I am very lucky to live just a mile or so from a city centre with a large garden surrounded by a conservation area. This time of year is dreadful for the lack of birds but come the new year and spring it will be good for a while.

The British soldiers in WWII had a song about such a monorchid person - he wasn't French but a neighbour who liked Alsace and had a funny little moustache.I feel deeply hurt in my patriotic feelings.
Nevertheless, I won't quote what Edith Cresson said about Englishmen...

From October as the leaves began to change color in the small Cuyamaca Range.

A juvenile Cooper's Hawk decided to sit and wait for breakfast to come to it. The funny part was watching one of the bolder chipmunks go out on a branch and alarm call then shift to another bush and repeat numerous times, causing the hawk to look back and forth. Distance was ~35' so framing was limited.
