Garden Birds

Just a reminder that your garden birds really need you right now in the cold snap. Please do feed them if you can.

Especially the smallest garden birds, such as the blue tits, only weigh a matter of 30-40 grams and when the nights are so long and the days so short they have to go an awful long time without being able to eat anything to fuel that tiny body. Add to this the perishing cold and it adds up to a dangerous time for them. I found a tiny blue tit dead in the street the other day for whom the cold and the lack of food had proved just too much. 

They give us such pleasure in the spring and summer - don't forget about them now!
