Garden Birds in Winter

The winter months can be very challenging for birds as they have to endure freezing temperatures, but there are some things we can do to make it a little easier for them. ⁠
⁠

• Feed the birds - food can be scarce for our little garden friends so put out some of their favourites to keep them fed. Seeds and nuts in a hanging feeder are a good option⁠
  
• Don't forget the water - when temperatures drop, their usual water sources may begin to freeze.⁠
  
• Give them shelter - a classic wooden bird box is the safest bet, but put them out soon so the birds can make a home before the weather worsens⁠
  
• Be mindful of predators when choosing where to put feeders and bird boxes, consider positioning for different species and remember to face them away from the wind.⁠
