Hi Diane,
If the woods and farmland around you has plenty of food for them then they’ll probably stay there rather than come into your garden. Although, I’m sure with some patience they’ll come. It takes a while so don’t give up.

Took part in the Birdwatch, I have many chaffinches & goldfinches in the woods & farmland
around my cottage but despite my well stocked bird table they will
not come into my garden. I have tried niger seeds etc. put out
mealworms. I have many regulars, lovely birds ! but I would like
to see a bigger variety of birds. I see that you have some of the
birds that I would like to see on my bird table, Any tips ?
