Birdfeeders, Birdhouses etc
Some of you have huge 'backyards' with trees and grass, ponds and streams, others [like me], a few square feet of paving; but we can all do something to help birds out by feeding them and providing nestboxes and habitat. Even I have room for pots with native plants bearing berries and an old shed I can nail a bird box to. I have half a dozen feeders with food for many different species. Our yards and gardens are an increasingly important resource to birds in the days of chemical farming and over urbanisation.
Ambitious birding gardeners might also want to share their good luck or good planning by installing a webcam pointed at their busy bird table or even inside a nestbox. There are times for all of us when we can't get out into the field to indulge in our hobby, but if we can see out of a windown on to a patch of our own we need never suffer withrawal symptoms!
I cannot endorse all the products listed in the links below - but am always happy to review anything to inform fatbirder surfers.
