We did our BGBW earlier today.
I chose one of the feeders to watch and the bit of the garden nearby. The count was
Coal tit 1
Robin 1
Blackbird 2
Greenfinch 4
Siskin 5
Goldfinch 6
Chaffinch 15
This was in the first half hour and then no birds for the rest of the watch.
At one point Mrs T, who had been watching another part of the garden, came to where I was and said, "Have you got any birds?"
We assumed a sparrowhawk had visited and scared the birds. We spent some time watching and were lucky to see one do a dash around a bush after some of the smaller birds.
