The Big Garden Birdwatch takes place this weekend - one of the largest surveys of birdlife in the world. Here, RSPB president Miranda Krestovnikoff - also a natural history TV presenter on Coast, Springwatch and The One Show - presents a beginner's guide to getting inspired and making the most of your garden's birdlife. Warning: may contain nuts - and other kinds of bird food

I live in Japan and whilst its not short on its own share of birds, it is nothing on a par with the variety and amount of birds that can be seen in a UK garden. As it was so 'normal', I didn't appreciate it until I moved here (Japan). It's a huge selling point for the British Isles although I suspect that like me, people simply don't realise it simply because it's so 'normal' and take it for granted!
Wonderful spot. I live in central Oklahoma, US. Moved here from the Texas Panhandle. Both locations are migratory fly-ways for lots of birds. I've been birding for about 17 yrs and now have 110 birds on my positive ID list. It's a wonderful hobby. Birds, to me, are like the tropical fish of the sky. I go through 60 lbs. of Oil Seed-Sunflower Seed per 4 months. Worth every penny.
Great activity to do with your kids or elders!
Good video but a pitty it didn't include the feeding of ground-feeding birds too, like robins, dunnock, grey partridge that can't access hanging feeders very well.
Some marvellous footage here, thanks for uploading. Paul
Nice show. I like the coconut suet feeder idea.
gorgeous puppy
Thank you for this video
I live in northern Minnesota, I usually see chickadees, blue jays, nuthatches, sparrows, purple finches, goldfinches, warblers, woodpeckers

Great video. How do we keep rats away?
I'd say hang your feeders higher and try to avoid spillages
I just shot a video with Peter Holden who was one of the people behind setting up the Big Garden Birdwatch when it started in 1979. We looked at some moths though...still interesting! The video is up on my page if you're curious

In most if not all the "attracting birds" uploads they have big country gardens or ones full of trees or one that back onto fields etc....you never see one on how to attract birds to a small town garden for example.
Where I live all the birds have didsapeared out of the sky and nobody seems to have noticed. There's only planes. Its really ereiy no noise or movement.
A consistent food source is the key.

There's very little ledge space for birds to cling to on the coconut shell.
The only thing we get is a fine from the COUNCIL OR GHA SO WHY BOTHER
Bet yu never thought baby yoda loves birds
1:13 "It's free!" Au contraire. Squirrels eat a major portion of expensive bags of seed and suet intended for Cardinals, woodpeckers, and other birds. I literally can't keep up with the amount of seed consumed on my property. Unfortunately, I think I'm going to have to resort to feeding only once a week.
Get yourself a squirrel baffel. Or an air rifle. I have fun watching the birds while shooting the grey squirrels as they are a pest here in the UK.
If you have ‘fun’ taking the life of an animal, ‘pest’ or not, I’d suggest you get some psychological help.
@@paul1720 shut up you little girl
My comment says I have fun watching the birds... not have fun shooting squirrels .. but while shooting squirrels. Idiot
Chill
pity we all don't live next to open fields and farm land. In my urban garden I only get sparrows, the odd blue tit, robins,dunnock,black bird and gold finch. some gardens you don't even see sparrows.
A tiny bit middle class? This woman lives in the middle of rural nowhere . How does this relate to the majority?

Fun and Free ??? I spend about £20 a week on bird seed.
Honest Tom, look at bird bath
I live in auburn indiana and i see mainley chickadees,cardinals,sparrows
Bushes are a perfect place for cats which might pounce on the birds
And the odd hawk eating the pidgeons
NOOOOOOOO! Not the old "figure of eight" binocular outline again. You'd think the RSPB / Guardian could get it right. (sorry... pet hate).
Oh ..... loads of pigeons of course but they eat what you eat. Ie grain grown wit aid of poisons (insecticides)
Garden birds NICE !!
But time was whilst waking in the country side if you peeped into a hedge you would see a birds nest and in spring so.e eggs.
Today ....... nada !!
Children just don't know.
Rachel Carson was right
SILENT SPRING. in the countryside.
WHAT IS RSPB DOING ABOUT IT ??
I'm afraid that there is a decline in the little birds here,lots of magpies and squirrels though !!!!

I onced loved the rspb but what a shame its become a political lobby group millons spent on advertising, false information delivered through the bbc,not really consulting communities but telling them what to do.i use to fish on a lake, it was beautiful robins would come to feed on the maggots in the container.kingfishers used overhung branches to pursue fish it was great.the kids learnt so much fishing there.what happened you may ask yes the rspb came along purchased the lake and rather consult with the community it just put signs up no fishing. you see anglers policed the water protected the wildlife and were the first to raise the alarm of any wrong doing.now the only people who go there are dog walkers, trouble makers and polish poachers.its been left to overgrow.so the rspb look after it not. so my oppinion of the really selfish peoples political band is its lost its way and should go back to what is was a charity not a political business.
You’re only bitter because they put wildlife ahead of your hobby. We need much more of that. The rest of your post was just incoherent rambling, with no substance.
the advice of using lard to make grease balls is totally wrong. Grease balls must be made with a veg product like margarine because animal grease becomes acid if left outside
Margarine? That would just melt...
Veg fat is fine and 100% less animals died to make vegetable fat.
James, margarine usually contains palm oil, that has long chain fats, ie, terrible, and look up habitat loss due to land clearing for the palm oil industry. Animal fat is a lot less evil.
Margarine? Like, butter?
@@counterfifth
Margarine contains palm oil which is produced in huge farms. These palm oil farms take up massive areas of tropical rain forest, such as the amazon, which is a lot worse than taking recourse from the corpse of a cow.
