Winter is a cold, but, beautiful season. Many animals during the winter are hibernating: such as hedgehogs. But, there are still plenty of animals that are active during the winter in the natural world; especially when it comes to birds.
There are many bird species that you can see from the comfort of your own home this January. Some of them will be regular visitors, while other bird species visiting your garden will be rare treats to see. Even during the winter, there is plenty to see in our gardens when it comes birds (and even other wildlife).
A good way to attract birds into the garden, is by providing them with a source of food and water. You can provide the birds with a bird bath to give them a source of water, and, you can provide them with a bird feeder or two to give them a source of food. These will attract many different species of birds into your garden.
It's great to watch the birds in the garden.
