Probably busy defending their territories or resting! I notice the same feeding pattern at my own feeders in good weather in spring - birds will be around early morning and in the afternoon, with little happening in between. They will probably be out establishing and defending their territories, etc.

You notice a very similar pattern in bird activity in woodland and/or very hot conditions (bird activity peaking in the first couple of hours after sunrise, dropping off before picking up in the afternoon again).

Mornings are more frantic as there is a need to refuel - particularly if it was a cold night. Much like a hearthy breakfast to start before you get on with the business of the day.
