Single holes would have been fine, but the ground needs good prep, which is the most important thing, and that may not have been adequate. It may...
Yes - pruning of that type [mophead or lacecap] should be done in very late winter/spring, depending on location and conditions. It's always...
Sparrows are the most common here @CarolineL , and dunnocks, but we have lots of blue, great and coal tits too, as well as all sorts of others....
Nothing yesterday as we had to go to hospital for daughter's MRI, and I'm not sure what might get done today as the weather's to be hit and miss....
We also have a huge variety and amount of berries of all types round here @Sheal , so there's still plenty on trees/shrubs. Cotoneasters are a...

Great work @shiney and Mrs. shiney! You'll be glad when it's all away and ready for the new one though. Pity the weather's not playing ball, but...
