There are lots of ways to encourage wildlife to your garden and installing a bird feeder is an obvious option that celebrity gardener Chris Packham has taken on board.
The former presenter of the Really Wild Show clearly wanted to see a number of varieties in his New Forest garden as he told the Daily Mail he had installed ten bird feeders.
He managed to accommodate a traditional bird table, a seed feeder on a pole and multiple tube feeders.
Size is not an issue either, according to the wildlife expert. Mr Packham explained: "Whatever size garden you''ve got, there''s room for at least one feeder, even if you''ve only got a window box."
His investment has clearly paid off as he explained that he has seen no less than 68 different types of bird in his garden.
Now is a great time to invest in shelter for wildlife as the 47-year-old explained that "birds are vulnerable as we move into winter".
Bird feeders and tables are a great idea as the shorter days mean birds have less time to forage and they lost weight keeping warm during the night.
