  Watching birds in your garden is the easiest way to make regular contact with wildlife. This manual demonstrates how to increase the attraction of your garden for birds by supplementing food, shelter, roosting and nesting sites that are available, to offer a safe haven for many species. It covers: the principles of sympathetic gardening for birds to flourish; constructing, siting and maintaining ponds; cultivating annuals, biennials, perennials and aquatic plants; organic gardening and conservation issues; avoiding potential hazards; and breeding and feeding habitats. All local habitats are covered, whether in cities, suburbs, a village or rural setting.
