Description
This course explains the nesting habits of a wide range of UK garden wildlife. Starting with birds, I explain the natural options that they look for. Much of which can be provided in almost any garden. I then guide you through the various artificial bird nesting boxes that are available in many garden centres or online. Advising on where to place them, and which birds they aim to attract. I then introduce you to the world of bats, and explain their habits and preference for nesting, along with useful guidance on putting up a bat box to attract them to your garden. Invertebrates are incredibly diverse, and nest in a very wide range of ways. I also provide guidance on creating your own invertebrate homes, like bug hotels and other options. The nesting preferences of bees, from honeybees, to bumblebees and solitary bees, have their own dedicated section as they are worthy of closer inspection. Their nesting habits are also a major part of their lifecycles. I don't explain the techniques of bee keeping (I suggest a dedicated course for that) but I do cover the options available to cater to solitary bees in gardens, such as bee hotels. Hibernaculums are a great way to house plenty of invertebrates in gardens, and provide excellent homes for frogs, toads, newts and even reptiles. All of which are very beneficial for wildlife gardens. So this course explains the various aspects to consider when constructing your own hibernaculum. Mammals are amazing to see in gardens, so I have included a few ways to support and house a few mammals that may make an appearance in gardens. Throughout this course, as with all my courses, I have highlighted interesting insights into plenty of garden wildlife. I also provide a deep dive into the following animals, explaining their lifecycles, feeding habits and threats, and of course, what we gardeners can do to help them in our gardens:- Blue Tit- Soprano Pipistrelle bat- Centipede- Wool Carder bee- Comma butterfly- Smooth newt (also known as the Common newt)- FoxIf you enjoy supporting wildlife in your garden, this course contains all the essential guidance to help plenty of animals find their nesting needs in your garden.
