A wonderful community post from “Nature On Your Doorstep” RSPB blog on how to help wildife in your outside space this autumn:
Six rules are suggested:
- Fill your space with plants (and if you can choose ones that are known to be wildlife-friendly, all the better)
- Add water
- Cherish dead plant matter – seedheads, sticks, logs, leaves, compost
- Offer supplementary food
- Offer supplementary nesting sites
- Don’t use pesticides
