Our inner feeling can swiftly change to happiness when we hear the birds singing in the Springtime.

it certainly is the finest, oldest music  and it's been around for millions and millions of years here on planet Earth.

 So hang up the feeders this time of year, bring the birds closer  and make them happy.

Feeding the birds brings fine feelings, especially if we can attract the birds to an area where we can see them at close range

and observe there characters and behaviour, without disturbing them.

In December and January the garden birds sometimes face survival problems, The ground becomes iced over making it impossible for the birds to collect insects and worms and the nights can sometimes be bitterly cold.

The daylight hours are also very short now limiting the available hours needed to find food.

A grand spectacle in winter is definitely a garden or forest active with many different species of birds,  it makes the whole area all the more atmospheric and interesting.

So try to remember to give a bit of help to our little feathered friends in the cold now and take lifes rewards with the finest music in the fast approaching Spring.
