This is the time of year #birds will be nesting. You can help by joining #NoMowMay Most breeding birds will be eating an insect-based diet to give their chicks protein to grow. Leaving your lawn provides habitat for these #insects to live, increasing food for all the chicks! 🐛🐣

Curlews have an iconic call and an impressive bill. Sadly they are #Britain's most pressing #bird #conservation priority.
You can help 🧡
🌾Report any sightings to @CurlewCountry
🌾Support farmers who are farming with #nature, check out the @PARTRIDGE_NSR

The #BigGardenBirdwatch results are in and over ONE MILLION people took part🥳!
Sadly #goldfinches and #chaffinches have seen the biggest decline, so let's help them out by #planting #sunflowers, teasels, marigolds, poppies and make sure to leave dandelions and thistles!! 🌻💚

And we’re done! 8,450 plants, 25 species, 1.4km hedgerow in the ground. All possible thanks to @eforests and the incredible help of many local volunteers. That’s on top of 1000 trees before Christmas. What a season and a statement of intent! Thank you all! #rewilding #Hedgewatch

Fancy a fun and rewarding #activity to do this #lockdown weekend? 💚
How about making a #nestbox for our #garden visitors as it's #nationalnestboxweek 🐦 There are some great templates on @_BTO for smaller #gardenbirds and @BarnOwlTrust for owl boxes 🦉 #makeadifference #nature

[Reasons to be Wild @Reasonstobewild]

YOU CAN HELP tawny #owls by making an #owlbox and creating strips of rough tussocky #grassland to increase #voles and #mice 🐁 the primary food source of these incredible night hunters. Today is the first day of #NationalNestboxWeek check out @BarnOwlTrust to find out more 💚

[Reasons to be Wild @Reasonstobewild]

Happy #ValentinesDay 💜
Meet Tony's mum and dad from the @ScotOwl 🦉
Did you know❓#TawnyOwls pair off at one year old, and usually stay together in a monogamous #relationship for life 💚

[Reasons to be Wild @Reasonstobewild]

In these #snowy conditions make sure to keep your #birdfeeders topped up and de-ice and refill your #water baths daily so the #birds have enough to #eat and #drink....and don't forget to enjoy the #snow too ❄☃️
