3.MAKE A SPLASH
Garden birds need fresh
water to drink and to
bathe in to clean their
feathers. And, with a
birdbath in your garden,
you can enjoy watching
them. This sculptural
piece by maker Sarah
Walton is a shallow
frostproof ceramic bowl
sitting on a tall charred-
oak base and was
inspired by seeing birds
splashing in puddles.→

2.NESTING INSTINCT
Traditional brick or
timber-built dovecotes
can be found in the
gardens of many historic
country houses, but we
can also offer birds a
home in our smaller
21st-century plots. Look
out for an attractive
titcote, set on a pole
with individual nesting
boxes, and also feeding
tables to attract smaller
birds into your garden.
“STANDA BIRDBATH IN AN
AREA OF DAPPLED SUNLIGHT
IN A QUIET CORNER OF YOUR
GARDEN NEAR FOLIAGE,
SO THAT THE BIRDS CAN
USE IT FOR COVER”
