Feed the birds this winter

Not just birds but many creatures struggle to find enough food to survive a harsh winter and, with winter approaching, now is the time to consider making preparations to help them survive. In my area winters can be quite harsh with hard frosts causing many natural water sources to be unavailable to wild creatures. For many years now I have been doing by small part to provide food and water for whatsoever wild creature needs it by placing bird feeders in my garden and making sure that the water fountain I have doesn't freeze solid so that birds (and others) have a source of food and water through the winter months.
The picture above is a Blue Tit which found one of my garden feeders last winter. It is tucking in to a suet ball studded with seeds and nuts. Do you do this type of thing in your garden during winter?

. It's a joy to see them all no matter what the season.

You are good at helping those birds and other creatures to survive winter.

We do what we can. I don't like the thought of them going hungry when there's something I can do about it

That's a great photo. I can't get around very well; so unfortunately I don't feed the birds. I'm glad you do.

I have many pots of water on an outdoor table for the birds. As for winter, we might get a little more winter than usual this year but typically it doesn't get overly cold here.
