1. It’s easier in winter!
As trees lose their leaves in the autumn, birds become easier to spot without them being covered by a mass of foliage.
2. Winter visitors – new feathered faces
As the summer comes to end, birds such as swallows and swifts, migrate back to Africa for the winter. Although, it is sad to see these birds disappear from our skies they are soon replaced with some new winter visitors. Redwings and fieldfares are just a couple of birds, both in the thrush family, that come to the UK for the winter. Keep your eyes open for them feasting on berry-laden bushes or hedgerows.
3. Follow the berries
At this time of years, birds are drawn to trees or bushes that are laded with berries or seeds which will fatten them up ahead of the winter. Find a tree or bush that’s stocked up and take a look to see who is enjoying the snack!
