Your wildlife month
January is a miserable month. The days are short, dark and often damp, and most wildlife is still hibernating. But there are glimpses of spring on the horizon. Birds are starting to pair up. Blue tits and great tits will be looking for nest sites – it will be a while before they start to breed but you may spot them prospecting nest boxes or even roosting in them. Natural sources of food are in their shortest supply, so keep bird feeders topped up, and consider leaving halved apples on the ground for blackbirds and thrushes. Leave the berries on ivy until the birds have eaten them – they contain more calories per gram than a bar of chocolate and can help birds get into shape for breeding in a few weeks.
