With everyone spending more time at home due to lockdown now is an ideal time to think about how we can look after the wildlife we might see around us, either by building a home for birds or bees, or getting creative with different types of bird feeders for your garden, windowsill or balcony.
Giving wildlife a helping hand through the darker, winter months can make a big difference and, as research demonstrates, you can be sure of the pay back through improved wellbeing by just noticing and appreciating the natural world all around us.
