Wildlife in Your Garden

Home sweet home - but have you thought about exploring your garden to see what creatures are calling it home?

Even if you do not have a big garden or you only have a concrete patio, you will be surprised at what shelters in the nooks and crannies.

To explore your garden the following equipment would be useful

  • Magnifying glass or microscope
  • Notebook and pencil
  • Clear plastic jar
  • Sieve (particulary useful if you have a pond)

There are a number of ways you can attract wildlife to your garden

  • Bird feeders
  • Water baths
  • Nest boxes
  • Bumblebee boxes
  • Pile of logs
