Big Garden Birdwatch 2017

Monday, 23 January 2017

It’s the Big Garden Bird Watch this weekend, 28-30 January, so get your bird feeders filled, find a good window to sit at, a nice cup of cosy milk (or tea if you prefer) and get watching! I love hanging out with my feathered friends. Daddy and I went to Jupiter Urban Wildlife Centre recently for their Winter Birds workshop so we have some top tips to share with you on caring for your garden birds…

Make a bird house

I am very lucky and have a lovely cosy home to live in so I thought it was only fair to make a nice home for my feathered friends…

Get some left over pieces of wood or use an old pallet. Get a grown up to help cut the wood to the right lengths. My favourite part was hammering all the nails in as it makes so much noise!

Hammering nails into the birdhouse was fun

Once you have completed your birdhouse choose carefully where you want to put it in your garden.
