Do you have the UK’s Best Bird Garden?

Enter our brilliant new competition and win a year’s supply of bird food

We’re looking for the UK’s Best Bird Garden – and it could be yours!

Is your garden dripping with birdlife? Do you regularly get rarities nibbling on your feeders? Or have you transformed a bare patch of concrete and lawn into an oasis of calm – providing food and nesting spots for hungry urban birds?

However big or small your garden may be, in the middle of town or out in the countryside, we want to hear about it – and why you think it’s deserving of recognition.

Voting is now open.

A prize-winning garden

What makes a good bird garden? Paul Hammond, chief executive of our sponsors Wild About Birds, gives the best example: After moving into his house in Beccles, Suffolk, he took a scrap of lawn, half a dozen tatty conifers and a crumbling shed and transformed them into a wildlife retreat bustling with noise and colour.

Paul says: “Since I began this wildlife garden, all of my neighbours seem to have followed suit with feeders adorning fence-lines and bird tables appearing on every lawn. I have also developed the wildlife theme to our business at Wild About Birds. A former wasteland of broken concrete, tarmac and waste is now a thriving miniature woodland.”
