Silly comment. Read the attachment. Or go to i-player and watch Winterwatch: https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/documentaries/winterwatch-jack-baddams-protect-birds-comment/ Our gardens are not natural, many of the birds that use them are dependent on us. Most of us feed the birds, including myself, do it for our own pleasure rather than in a belief that we are reversing the damage done to nature by humans over recent centuries. -
Thanks @Sue I had no idea what they delivered. Personally I just dont get why anyone living in London would bother with something like this, We can all pop down the road and buy bread, pastries etc and know what we're getting.. Just seems a bit of a yuppie fad and waste of money. But thats just my opinion! -
How to you grow these? I've scattered meadow flower seeds many a time, but thistles don't take and I doubt if alder and birch is common round here. Teasels pop up now and then, but even if they are self seeding usually don't see them the next year. It was nice seeing the gold finches feeding off these when I do have them. I do let the dandelions grow but not sure I've seen finches feeding off them. I understand they are a great source of nectar for bees, butterflies and the like. On a related subject my lawns have changed greatly over the last couple of decades, warmer wetter winters, springs, earlier springs, droughts in the summer. Moss and brambles thrive....

Sadly true though. I've just replenished my (clean) feeders and put out suet blocks and logs. Now I'm waiting for the pigeons and squirrels to descend 🤣
