Garden birds need your help

The RSPB say that during cold snaps, birds are more likely to come into gardens to seek sanctuary. You can help improve their chances of survival by providing food like meal worms, fatballs, crushed peanuts, dried fruit, seeds and leftover like grated cheese, porridge, cooked rice and cooked potatoes.
Water is also vital for both drinking and bathing and bird baths can be kept from freezing over using small floating items like twigs or a ping pong ball.
