Hi Ste, Welcome to the site. Just joined myself couple of days ago and everyone seems so friendly and knowledgeable. How can I attract a variety of birds to my garden? Just moved to a new house recently - have a lovely big tree in the back garden which attracts magpies and pigeons but that's all I've seen.

Would bird boxes and tables help (and if so, is it possible to have them so they are safe from predators as I have a number of cats.) Would love to see robins, tits, etc. but obviously wouldn't want to attract them to their deaths.

I live in Swindon, Wiltshire, by the way, so not sure if there are a good variety of birds down this way.

Thanks, Snowhound
