We’ve really been enjoying the array of birds that come to feed in our garden. Regular, daily visitors include a pair of robins, a pair of chaffinches, a couple of pairs of black birds, a few dunnocks, tits of various types, nuthatches and the most beautiful song thrush. We even have a pair of pretty little goldfinches that have been returning to nest in our silver birch for at least the past 3 years.
As well as the smorgasbord of nuts, seeds, lard and meal worms that we put out for our garden birds, we’re thinking about providing them with some extra housing as well. There are so many types of bird boxes available, some for specific types of birds.
Some of our summer visitors such as swifts are in sharp decline and could do with all the help they can get while they’re here.
