Last week I shared some tips on how to keep a tidy garden. If you keep on top of keeping your garden tidy, it gives you more chance to sit and enjoy it. One thing we love in our garden is watching the birds, which is why looking after our feathered friends is important.
Apart from the usual birds we get in our garden, a few months ago our garden was a sea of green with Parakeets and we have also spotted a woodpecker and her baby. We love spotting different birds.
Bird Feeders
We do have a bird feeder in our garden, and recently sent a Sterling Tree Feeding Station, which on its own is a beautiful addition to the garden. I was also sent feeders and food, so had everything I needed to feed our feathered friends.
As already said, we do already have a bird station, but our garden gets so busy. We did need to get another one, as we were forever having to make sure if was filled.
We also have to do what we can throughout the year, but more importantly in extreme heat and in the midst of winter when everything is frozen. They know where they can go to get what they need for survival.

It’s one we’ll never see in the uk since it’s from south America, but my favourite will always be the great potoo! I really implore you too look it up and you’ll see exactly why it’s one of the best birds out there. It looks like a puppet, and has one of the funniest calls.
So hard to choose a favourite! I love it when we get a group of long tailed tits in our garden, they are so dainty and pretty, but then a blue jay is so proud and majestic looking
I love my blackbird. Every time I go out in the garden he comes and sits on the fence and waits for me to get him some food
I love long tailed tits, they are such cuties
It’s hard to pick just one bird, but robins are probably my favourite.

We have many feathered visitors but I do like the starling , the feathers shine and they provide plenty of entertainment in the bird bath .. yes I know they devour everything but we make sure there is enough to go round !
My favourite is Blue Tits
I haven’t really got a favourite. I adore any birds full stop. Although if I see a goldfinch in my garden, it always makes me smile. We don’t get many of those.
Wrens – so tiny but such a fantastic song
I love them all, but I find jay’s something special.
My favourite bird is a robin ❤️ although swallows and wrens are a close favourite too xx
We have so many to choose from amongst our garden visitors, little sparrows and dunnocks, coal tits, blue tits, great tits, even seen one song thrush earlier in the year. My favourites are robins and goldfinches both elusive so when I see them I’m thrilled. Also have plenty of red kites nesting nearby so always amazed by their majestic wingspans!
I love watching all of them, but robins (like most people) are my favourite. I currently have one that comes and visits me on a daily basis every morning. It’s a great way to start my day!

I have always loved Robins
I’m a big fan of owls- very interesting to look at
My favourite bird is a woodpecker because i feel lucky when i see them
I love my little naughty magpie. He has actually started tapping my bedroom window early in the morning if the bird feeder I have stuck to it isn’t full. I think I accidentally trained him by filling it early one morning when he was sat chattering away. He is very good and leaves the other birds and their nests in my garden including my owl alone.

This is a great giveaway. So many birds are being affected by this awful heatwave due to the lack of food for them. Their water supply has reduced due to lack of rain and their food supply such as seeds and Insects are dying due to the draught so if everyone left some food it would be great to protect these birds

Robins are my favourite as well
