Meanwhile, what can we be doing to encourage and look after our garden birds?
This is from a newsletter from a farm specialising in bird feed:
RSPB studies have shown that if we feed live mealworms in our gardens during April, May and June, we will rear 50% more birds in our garden and if we want to see a lot of birds, we need to rear a lot of birds. Every bird has to take its nestlings moist food, as it can’t take them water, so the water has to be included in the food and that moist food is live insects. News From The Farm No.179
