Please leave clearing up your Garden in the Autumn until Spring. Our gardens and shrubs are still as they were in September and still have seeds to eat and give shelter. Don't be too tidy!
All year the birds have been fed with sun f;ower hearts,in less than an hour I recorded more than 200 little birds. Yhry seem to have a pecking order. Many of the birds come in mixed flocks
I have recently sent off an objection to a development proposal on greenbelt land, adjoining a nature reserve and destroying a wildlife corridor, proposed by a national housebuilder. There are brownfield sites available which would not destroy wildlife habitat.

Ijust love feeding the birds in my garden,there are sooooo!! many different kinds plus the red sqirrels, glad i have done the big garden watch.:-))
I've also joined the WWF a few years ago and I make a monthly donation by Direct Debit to WWF to help protect world wildlife, including turtles, whales, endangered species like orang utang, tigers and huge rain forest protection schemes among others.
Feeding the birds in our garden and the erection of nest-boxes has definitely helped to boost their populations.Our tree sparrows numbers,in particular,have tripled in as many years...And other species,too,have benefited.We have- on occasions- seen even tree creeper & goldcrest on our feeders.
Feeding garden birds and a buzzard out in front of my house.
I send stamps to save albotrosses as well as donating my used ink cartidges to RSPB. I also have 4 bird feeders and a bird bath in my garden. Getting a webcam set up so i can watch the birds all day from inside!!!
My money is running out on peanuts....now the new born (recently) squirrels have also found out how to teas the plastic feeders, in order to get the nuts... the the pigeons go under the clothes line to pick up the follen ones, and then go to the forsythia where the coconuts are filled with nuts and clear those AS WELL. Can I go to beg at the church´s door??
Blackbirds love porrage, thank God, as they munch 1kg per week between them all. Robins , donuks, tits they all eat the fatballs as well.
