February

Start of nesting season: from February to July, breeding season is upon us. Make sure your nest boxes are clean and ready for your feathered friends.

April

Preparing for summer: keep your bird feeders stocked up as breeding is well underway. April is a good time to sow wildflower meadows and Hardy annuals.

May

No Mow May and Dawn Chorus Day: try taking part in #nomowmay to support insect life and celebrate international dawn chorus day by putting out a special treat for your birds.

August

Water Worries: Keep your birdbaths topped up in these hot summer months and allow seed heads on sunflowers and other plants to develop, these are quite the treat for birds!

October

Tree planting: October is a good time to plant trees, hardy summer bulbs and herbaceous perennials. Any fallen leaves can be left out to provide shelter for wildlife.

November

Shrubs and bushes: Now is a perfect time to plant shrubs and bushes so they establish before the cold snap. Hawthorn and elder are good choices for shelter as a food source.
