With dropping temperatures, high winds, showers and the threat of snow over high ground, winter is definitely on its way! With our winter migrants making landfall and spreading out across the UK, and with Feed The Birds Day on October 29, now is the perfect opportunity for a quick checklist on the essentials to keep wintering birds happy!
With the colder weather arriving, those of you who have been noticing reduced garden bird activity, be prepared for an influx of hungry visitors over the next few weeks!
All this talk of cold and wintry weather is a bit depressing so I thought I would share with you a picture taken from earlier this year when summer was in its prime, got to love a summer swallow!
