With almost 10,000 species of bird on the planet, and many of them visiting our gardens, they are one of the more visible forms of wildlife. Many of our birds here in the UK are dependant on the life that thrives in trees, hedgerows and grasslands and many of these habitats are being lost. That’s why we should all do our bit to help our birds. It can anything from not cutting your grass as frequently, to getting involved with groups that maintain and protect habitats and obviously providing food for the birds that visit your garden, especially during the winter months.
