Bird of the Week: Great Spotted Woodpecker

There can be few more exciting garden visitors than the Great Spotted Woodpecker, which is being seen at an increasing number of garden feeders. There’s no mistaking this distinctive black, white and red bird, with its bounding, undulating flight.

And reports from the BTO have shown that supplementary feeding of this species with foods like Peter & Paul Four Seasons and Peter & Paul Suet have a major impact on its reproductive success. Individuals given supplementary food were shown to have raised 4.2 chicks per pair, compared to just 2.1 chicks for pairs that didn’t have access to this food.

New Year’s Resolution

Even if the weather isn’t constantly harsh, make it your New Year’s resolution to feed the birds. The most helpful – and successful – wildlife gardens provide food throughout the year, not just for a day or two when temperatures drop.

It may take birds some time to find your well-stocked feeders, but once they do, they will keep returning on a regular basis for more. They then know they can depend on your garden during the coldest spells, during which you will find it becomes an oasis for all kinds of hungry wildlife. For garden birds, the New Year means cold weather and a fight for survival. The stakes are high and the pressures great – can you help them win?

You can’t go wrong with a little Peter & Paul!

It's often debated, but January 5th or 6th is the traditional day for taking down your Christmas tree. But before you recycle it... wait! If you have a garden, plant your tree outside and enjoy the birds attracted to it throughout winter.

Evergreen trees and shrubs, like Christmas trees, provide excellent shelter from winter winds and wily predators, even after the needles have fallen off. Just be sure to remove all tinsel and other decorations.

Bird of the Week: Blackcap

If the Blackcap is a bird you associate with a spring dawn chorus or summer’s day, then prepare yourself for a surprise. The BTO has reported an increase in this species visiting gardens in winter, in what they describe as a ‘remarkable evolutionary event’.

Blackcaps tend to be relatively sedentary as the weather gets colder, and favour food like Peter & Paul In Full Song and Peter & Paul Suet. In fact, supplementary feeding, along with a warming climate, is attracting birds from central Europe as our summer migrants fly to Africa for the winter.

Garden Birds In January

January brings the first signs of spring – the beginnings of the dawn chorus – but the slowly retreating winter still holds the birds’ daily activities in its grip. January days are still short and the nights interminably long, enforcing an unpleasant equation on each 24-hour period of the birds’ lives.

The equation is this: every day, a small bird must find enough food to lay down fat reserves for the night to come; if it doesn’t, it will starve during the darkness. This means the short January days are one long feeding binge with little time for anything else.

But the harsh reality is that birds find it hard to attain the food and nutrients they need to survive this time of year. So, feeding garden birds is vital, but it is also important that the food we provide is as calorific as possible: Peter & Paul Clean Plate, Peter & Paul In Full Song and as much Peter & Paul Suet as you can is what you should be feeding.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

With a New Year to celebrate, it's worth sparing a thought for the natural world because this is one of the toughest times for our wildlife to survive.

When the temperature drops, birds need extra energy to keep them warm during the cold winter months and get themselves ready for next year’s breeding season, which for some species can start as early as January.

Give birds a helping hand and invite them into your garden with a little Peter & Paul wild bird food – you won’t be disappointed!

Have a GREAT 2025!

Late December Birds…

As the year come to a close, you will often see an increase in bird species as they look to seek solace from the harsh climate. Birds including Bramblings would not normally be found in a garden setting at any other time of year. However, as a plentiful outdoor space can be a life saver to them, they will make this into their winter home. You may encounter a burst of activity both first thing in the morning and last thing in the afternoon. This is when they look to replenish or stock for the night ahead.

Keep your garden bird friendly this season by providing a constant supply of high energy foods, foods like Peter & Paul Clean Plate, and ensure feeders are continually topped up so that birds don’t waste their precious energy for an empty table

Bird of the Week: Mistle Thrush

Nothing sells Christmas cards more effectively than a picture of a Robin, preferably perched on a garden fork with snow melting off the handle. But if there was any justice, the star would be the Mistle Thrush, the true wild bird of the festive season.

The songbird that we are most likely to hear in full voice at this time of year is the Mistle Thrush. No matter what the weather, it will be singing away from the highest treetops. Their diet mostly consists of invertebrates and berries, but they may come into your garden for a little Peter & Paul In Full Song.

Have any of you been lucky enough to hear one yet?

HAPPY BOXING DAY EVERYONE

After all that festive eating & drinking, what can you do with the leftover food?

Well, a lot of it can be given to garden birds, but there’s a caveat. Not all of it can be shared. Here’s my Christmas 'leftover carte' menu for your bird table.

1) Roast potatoes
2) Cold Brussels sprouts and carrots
3) Cheese
4) Old fruit such as apples and pears
5) Stale cake and mince pies

Be aware! Never feed fat from the roasting tin – it isn’t a supplement for suet and has the potential to rot and go bad very quickly. Also never put out overly salty food.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

Now Christmas wouldn't be Christmas if we didn't show a picture of the nation's favourite bird...... The Robin!!

The Robins’ close association with Christmas is argued to be because the first postmen wore bright red waistcoats, and were popularly known as 'Robins'. Explaining why Robins are often featured on Christmas cards and frequently depicted holding a letter in their beak.

At Christmas, food is vital to their survival as they can use 10% of their body weight in just one winter’s night. You can therefore improve chances of survival by providing Peter & Paul In Full Song, containing all the seeds, nuts, and mealworms Robins love to eat.

Have you seen a 'Christmas Robin' yet?

“On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love sent to me Twelve Drummers Drumming”

I think the best contender for the drummer is the Great-Spotted Woodpecker. What can be said about this bird except WOW! The holy grail for many garden bird watchers, this species has it all; charisma, glamour and entertainment value! He’s one cool customer!

Great-Spotted Woodpeckers have become common visitors to gardens all over the UK and in they will take the odd bit of Peter & Paul Clean Plate but prefer Peter & Paul Suet Pellets.

I hope you have enjoyed my run down of the twelve birds of Christmas?

I wish you all a WONDERFUL Christmas and a happy New Year!
