Garden birds and other wildlife
15th July 2006

Many birds are in decline due to the loss of traditional habitat. This collection shows the range of birds that can be attracted to a small urban garden. Help the birds by providing food and water throughout the year. Plant bushes that produce berries or provide cover. Try to stick to species native to your country.

This collection also features garden insects, mammals and amphibians.

Other visitors that haven't been caught on camera are Sparrowhawk, Carrion Crow, Tawny Owl, Bat and Fox.
