Create Your Own Wildlife Oasis
When I asked my girlfriend Tracey, how many types of British birds she could identify, she quickly replied “About ten”. And if I were to ask you as a reader what would your reply be? I suspect it may be around the same but just take a while to stop and think. I suggest you may be able to identify at least fifty. Just to give you a quick example, take the time to read the names of but a few. Blackbird, Crow, Wood Pigeon, Mallard, Thrush, Sparrow, Starling, Kingfisher, Magpie and Puffin but you certainly know many more and this brings me to the question, how many different types of bird could you attract to your garden in Preston?
