Starlings on a bird table
Birds add a lot to a garden, but many of our familiar garden birds are in decline and need our help. In this episode I look at how to make your garden into a home for house sparrows, starlings and blackbirds.
If you’re trying to identify the bird song in your garden, then BBC Radio 4 and the Guardian both have a selection of recordings you can listen to online or download. The RSPB is a great source of information about garden birds and wildlife gardening, and if you’re looking for a selection of bird food, including live mealworms, then Wiggly Wigglers have a really good range.
