| Giving Nature a Home: tip of the month |
|
We all need a safe and reliable source of food, and it's the same for birds, too. Feeding is a simple and cost-effective way of helping your garden birds. And at this time of year it can really help tired adults raising chicks.
It's also a great way of seeing close-up the fascinating behaviour, amusing antics and individual characters of the birds in your garden and local area.

| Visit your local reserve and join in a Big Wild Sleepout event. There are loads of different ones to choose from, for example: set up camp in a wooded area of Farnham Heath for an after-dark adventure; learn tracking skills, go on a night-time walk and take part in a wildlife watch at the atmospheric Loch Leven; or enjoy an evening bat walk followed by toasted marshmallows around the campfire at Newport Wetlands.
