RSPCA guide to garden wildlife - Valerie Porter

This popular book is now being reissued in paperback. It provides a fascinating guide to the rich variety of wildlife that can be found on the doorstep and is an ideal introduction to this subject for all the family.

Every garden, no matter how small, can be a haven for wildlife, and with so many natural habitats now disappearing from the countryside, gardens are becoming increasingly important refuges for all kinds of wild creatures.

This attractively illustrated book will help you to discover which wild creatures might visit or live in your garden - from butterflies, beetles, frogs and lizards, to birds, foxes, badgers, hedgehogs and bats. It also explains how you can entice them to take up residence by making your garden as wildlife-friendly as possible.

Key topics include:

how to make your garden attractive to wildlife
- identifying and learning to understand garden wildlife - invertebrates, reptiles and amphibians, birds and mammals
- creating a garden pond
- special-interest features throughout
