For our UK members, with a period of cold weather promised, please make an effort to feed the birds in your garden, as they find it very difficult to locate food in snowy conditions.
If you don't already, you can buy suet balls in all pet shops and most supermarkets, these are high energy and help the small birds to survive this type of weather, they are easy to hang up on bushes and trees, even on fence posts. Porridge oats sprinkled on a snow free surfaces are great for Robins, Sparrows and Blackbirds, plus many kitchen scraps like bits of apple and small pieces of bread.
