Gardening for Birds by Stephen Moss
Featuring seven garden plan illustrations, this guide covers different types of garden - window ledge, balcony, terrace or roof terrace, small suburban, large suburban and country garden. Each one is supplemented by checklists that suggest the best nest-boxes, feeders and baths to install, and also the best sorts of plants to cultivate. There is also a section on unusual gardens, such as those near the coast. Subsequent chapters look in more detail at caring for birds, providing protection from predators, and identification information. 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.
Stephen Moss has been an active birdwatcher all his life and has written several books on the subject. A journalist and broadcaster, he writes a monthly column for The Guardian, and also contributes regularly to Birdwatch magazine. He also produced and directed the highly successful BBC Television series, Birding with Bill Oddie, and more recently BBC2's Big Cat Diary.
