| New from Cheshire
Being concerned about wildlife my initial object would be to help and encourage that in my immediate area, ie my garden, at the end of which is an enormous park with plenty of tree cover (foxes are common, possibly badger, woodpecker).
Re birdseed. I spread this around the edges of the garden – under bushes, trees, along the path. This attracts tits, finches, sparrows, wood pigeons, etc. Could I do more, here?
Should I also I also use feeders (what type)?
I paid £5 for a 2.7kg of RSPB birdseed. Is this a good source/price?
What about nesting boxes – how many, what type/size.
How can I encourage other species – hedgehogs, frogs, toads, for example?
The garden is about 15m x 15m, sheltered on one side by a high fence (2m) and open on two sides, save for low hedges/bushes.
Thank you for any help.
