In the same series as "The Complete Hedgehog", this illustrated book combines facts, myths, anecdotes and practical tips about our most familiar wild creatures, the garden birds we see every day. Les Stockes explains how to encourage a wide range of feathered visitors - not just with food and water in the hard winter months, but by planting the most suitable species for feeding and nesting as well as showing how to make a safe pond and feeding stations, what food to provide and basic first aid for birds casualties and orphans.
