HOUSEBUILDER AND THE RSPB
With the warm weather set to
continue, now is the perfect time
to get busy in the garden. Inspired
by their national partnership with
the RSPB, Barratt and David Wilson
Homes has shared some tips on how
to create the very best garden for
UK wildlife.
Philippa Stewart, Sales Director for
Barratt and David Wilson Homes
North West, said: “We are committed
to ensuring our developments are
as wildlife friendly as they can be
and now with lockdown in full
swing we’re sharing some guidance
in order to give people some fun
activities to do and lend a hand to
wildlife in the process”
Charlotte Ambrose, RSPB Wildlife
Advisor said: “Gardens and the
wildlife they attract can be a source
of joy and comfort even in the most
difficult times. Right now, we need
to take that joy and comfort where
we find it, and nature provides it in
bucket (trowel) loads. “
The RSPB has comprised the
following easy tips to utilise your
garden space:
1. Get to know your garden birds
With many of us spending more
time at home, attracting birds into
your garden with feeders or a source
of fresh, clean water will help you
get to know your garden birds. Only
feed selected foods at this time
of year, such as sunflower seeds,
pinhead oatmeal or special mixes
for birds that feed mainly on insects.
