Your wildlife month
Our gardens are busy now. Birds are sitting on eggs, while bees gather pollen and nectar to take back to their nests. Tadpoles are emerging, while insects frantically reproduce. Let’s hope there’s an ideal mix of gentle sun and showers to help them on their way. Leave aphids and caterpillars on plants for birds to feed to their chicks, keep areas of grass long, make log and leaf piles and have a large, open compost heap, all of which give food and shelter for a wide range of species. If we have a dry spring, water plants with rainwater so they keep producing nectar – make sure there’s some mud on the ground for red mason bees and house martins to use to make nests.
