Bird-friendly garden - Stephen Moss

A practical month-by-month guide to attracting birds to your garden

The Bird-friendly Garden helps you to make your garden into a haven for birds, whether it's a balcony, a courtyard or simply a window ledge. Each style of garden features full-page garden plan illustration by Gill Tomblin. There is also a section on unusual gardens, such as those near the coast.

Each one is supplemented by suggestion for the best nest-boxes, feeders and bird-baths to install, as well as the best plants to cultivate. There is practical advice on:

- how to care for the birds in your garden

- how to provide protection from predators

- identification guide

- detailed plant directory

A bird calendar explains season-by-season the different birds you are likely to see in each type of garden, and the correct type of food to provide at different times of the year. The Bird-friendly Garden is the ideal book for all gardeners who enjoy watching birds.
