Job of the week

Make fat cakes for the birds

Enjoy watching birds feeding in your garden all through the winter by making your own fat cakes for them. Feeding garden birds is important for their survival over the coming months so make up a pot of our mixture and watch the birds arrive. Once they recognise your garden as somewhere they can go for food they will be back for more, so get cooking!
