Great advice. Leaving a garden undisturbed for all of winter is so important.

[@AWilderLife]

Thanks Tracey! We completely agree ☺️

[@Rosedaffodilevans]

I love seeing wildlife in my garden in winter. A highlight so far this year has been a sweet Robin in the snow. Thanks for sharing these ideas

[@AWilderLife]

We love seeing wildlife in our garden too! Robin’s are such a lovely visitor 😊

[@graemeanshaw4519]

It’s a good idea to put a stick in te Tupperware tub so that insects can get out 😊

[@AWilderLife]

Love this Graeme! We will definitely be doing that with ours!

[@wildlifespotteruk]

Some great tips here, good work. I put out food like bird mix, homemade lard ball mixes etc.. as we have many daily visits from our feathered friends. Great video.

[@AWilderLife]

Thank you so much! Hope your feathered friends keep visiting! 😀

[@ivan11cast]

Awesome video, the pile of wood/ sticks/leaves has been so amazing for the birds here at home.

[@AWilderLife]

Thank you so much! It’s so nice knowing little things can make a big difference to the wildlife!

[@helenflasse6354]

I never knew you could put cheese out for birds..! Lovely footage and very informative! Great for kids to learn more about how to help wildlife in their gardens too. Youre great infront of the camera Sophie!

A really interesting video covering a wide range of content. I'm going to try the log pile tip as it will be achievable even in our small garden. I have to say you have a lovely big space to work in! I have four hanging feeders, 2x sunflower hearts and 2x mixed seed and we get inundated with goldfinches for the sunflower hearts. I lost count at 40 this morning as they all queue up to get a turn. Tree sparrows are our other main visitor. I find suet pellets are popular with robins and blue tits but I wish I could put up some more feeders after seeing you talk about chopped peanuts. I'm really enjoying your channel so thanks to you both!

[@AWilderLife]

Thank you so much for your kind feedback Stephen! Fantastic to hear you get so many visitors 😍 sounds like you do a lot to support the wildlife in your garden already! Are you taking part in the RSPB Big Garden Watch?
Would love to hear how you get on with your log pile build! ☺️

[@stephenelderphoto]

@@AWilderLife I am all signed up for the Big Garden Watch and raring to go 😁 Will let you know about the woodpile!

[@Kellysher]

Love the tips! We try to plant trees and shrubs that provide shelter and food. Serviceberries and Hawthorns. I agree to leave the seed heads until spring. This time of year shelled peanuts are a big hit with blue jays, cardinals, junco and titmouse. I love the idea of shelled sunflower!

[@AWilderLife]

Love this Kelly! Sounds like you have some fantastic visitors to your garden! 😀

In some regions of Russia, holly is called the "mother- in- law's tongue".
