Cold. That’s what those in the know are forecasting this weekend.
But don’t despair. The cold weather could bring more birds to your garden – woo hoo! So this weekend, why don’t you make sure that your feeders are cleaned out, topped up and ready to rock?
What, when and how
With the cold weather forecast, your garden birds will be looking for somewhere with a reliable food source, to help them through a cold spell. This is where we come in.
We’ve got loads of advice on our website about what, when and how to feed our garden birds, including tips on hygiene.
Now’s a great time to make sure that your feeders are cleaned out and in sparkling condition for winter. I know my last blog post encouraged not tidying, but feeders and bird tables are something that really do need cleaning. Mine certainly does!
More feeders?
If you fancy adding a feeder or two, or filling up on top quality seed, then why not visit one of our reserve shops, and experience the wonder of autumn at the same time. Alternatively, it’s all available online.
How many feeders to you have in your garden? Is there any foods the birds just love, or hate? Have you any top tips? Leave a comment below...
