Birds in Your Garden by The Royal Horticultural Society (Paperback, 2007)

Encouraging birds into your garden requires an understanding both of birds and of gardening, an appreciation lacking in the market at present. Combining two specialist sets of advice in one book, Birds in Your Garden is a unique collaboration with The Wildlife Trusts and the Royal Horticultural Society, providing answers to all your queries about how to make your garden bird-friendly; Whether it be the Robin, Goldfinch or Green Woodpecker, this book will help you structure you garden to attract common favourites or more exotic species by telling you: Which plants to grow or avoid; when and what food to scatter; how to create safe habitats or birds away from predators and human influence; and how to adapt your garden. Illustrated with superb photography, the reader-friendly format is both entertaining and informative. Each chapter includes a small box of fascinating facts and 'Did-you-knows?' that further adds to the reader's interest and understanding of birds in their environment..
