A fantastic book. Looking out of the window I can now understand what’s going on with my bird feed.

Review: I was looking for a general wildlife gardening book, and came across this one. Although it is indicated to be for birds only (and succeeds famously at that) it is an excellent source for general wildlife gardening as well, since if you attract other wildlife to your garden, then birds are sure to follow. There is a very handy section on plant selection, bird identification, a season by season guideline on which birds you can expect, as well as what to plant and what to feed the birds. A great book, and much better than other general wildlife books that I bought. Even if you have a small city patch this book will be of benefit, it is very highly recommended.
