Water

Many creatures and birds especially need a constant supply of freshwater. A safe place to drink and bath is essential for the successful bird garden.

Like us birds tend to enjoy their daily dip, particularly in hot weather, and so can become distracted and more vulnerable to predators.

Place bird baths well above ground out of reach of cats.
On the ground make sure the bath is well away from ambush cover.
A stone placed in the bath will provide a handy perch.

A garden pond can become the focal point of a wildlife garden for people and birds.
Provide a branch or stones in the shallows for birds to drink and bath, and a grassy edge for wild mammals to get easy access to the water.

What to Feed

A wide variety of food will attract greater numbers of different wild birds. They also feed in different ways. While some birds will eat from the birdtable others prefer suspended feeders or foraging on the ground below.
