UK Birds

It’s easy to attract birds to your garden, however small and close it is to a city. By providing a variety of food-sources, positioning your feeders carefully and providing fresh clean water, you will attract a wide range of common birds to your garden all year round, as well as a few surprises. The key thing is to ensure that you meet the needs of your birds all year round, especially in the winter months when they need us the most. I hate to see people putting up feeders in the summer months then neglecting them for the rest of the year, because they haven't seen many birds coming to their feeders. Activity generally builds up over the years as more birds get into the habit of visiting your garden. The best ways to ensure that they return is to make sure your feeders are always full. Fresh clean water for drinking and bathing will also attract birds into your garden.
