Feed the birds
Now that winter has arrived the birds will need your help. A covering of snow can mean no food at all. If you go away for a holiday please get someone else to feed your birds as there will be a local population that depends on you read more.
Hedgehogs need help
Hedgehog numbers have fallen drastically in recent years and need our help to survive. Over the past forty years traffic on the roads has dramatically increased and is a large factor in their demise. This is one problem that isn\'t going to go away any time soon read more.

The first snow of 2011 arrived in my garden in Rotherham today so I thought I would add some pictures of birds in the snow for you to see. See them here. in the \'Birds in snow\' post.

Welcome to my wildlife garden. (launched october 2011) I have been interested in wildlife since I was a young boy. Many years ago after watching a programme on TV called \'Blue tits and bumble bees\' presented by Chris Baines I decided to make my smallish semi detached garden into a little wildlife haven. I thought it would be nice to have wildlife all around me instead of having to find time to go into the countryside to see it. I\'ve put up this website to try to help anyone young or old to create their own wildlife garden. It will show things like how to make a butterfly garden, build a pond,make bird tables or a bird feeder, attract hedgehogs and many other tips plus lots of pictures and some video (soon). Please keep calling back to see what\'s been added. You can also join in and give your own tips to others who want to start wildlife gardening in the blog pages. I\'m also a keen wildlife photographer so 99.9% of the pictures on the site are taken by me and at some stage I will be offering them for sale as canvas prints. They will make great pictures for the bedroom walls of young naturalists. I hope you enjoy the site! Please join in by leaving messages in the blogs. Have fun with wildlife, Mike.
