Helping Garden Wildlife Through Winter

Timing across the season is worth planning for deliberately, since gaps in flowering leave pollinators with nothing to forage on for weeks at a stretch. Leaving seed heads standing rather than cutting borders back in autumn also gives finches and other seed-eating birds a natural food source right through the colder months.
Shelter matters as much as food. A quiet, shaded corner away from foot traffic and pets, ideally backed onto a hedge or shrub border, is the right spot for a dedicated shelter. Gardeners setting one up for the first time often start by browsing hedgehog houses to see the range of designs suited to different garden sizes.
Design details matter more than they might appear to. Good insect houses combine hollow stems, such as bamboo or reed, with drilled wood blocks offering a range of hole diameters, roughly 2 to 10mm, since different species use different sized cavities. Natural, untreated materials are preferable to anything varnished or chemically treated.
Winter is one of the harder seasons for garden wildlife. Natural food becomes scarce, cold weakens smaller animals quickly, and many species rely on undisturbed shelter to see them through to spring rather than active foraging.
Easy access matters most. A shallow, gently sloping edge lets amphibians move in and out of the water without difficulty, while steep, http://pasarinko.zeroweb.kr/bbs/board.php?bo_table=notice&wr_id=11015437 hard-edged ponds can be surprisingly difficult for them to use. Nearby damp, shady spots, a log pile or a compost heap close to the pond, give them somewhere to shelter and hibernate once they leave the water for the colder months.
Whole peanuts should be avoided if fledglings are likely to be fed them directly, as they present a choking risk; a mesh feeder that breaks nuts into smaller pieces is the safer option. Hygiene is just as important as food choice: cleaning feeders regularly and moving their position from time to time helps reduce the build-up of bacteria that can spread between visiting birds.
