🍂🐦 Want to see more robins in your garden this autumn? Here’s a simple trick to attract these charming birds!
As the weather cools, robins become more active around UK gardens. They’re on the hunt for food, so why not give them a helping hand? Start by turning over a bit of soil to expose tasty insects and worms—they’ll love you for it! You might even see a robin hopping along behind you as you garden.
To really lure them in, set up feeding trays. Since robins are ground feeders, they’re more likely to eat from low spots. A mix of bird seed, sunflower hearts, and their absolute favourite—mealworms—is sure to make your garden a must-visit spot. Try soaking dried mealworms in water for extra moisture.
Got a bird table? Make sure it’s covered to keep the food dry and protect our feathered friends from predators. If you really want them to stay, create a living larder by planting shrubs with berries, like hawthorn or holly. Not only will it provide them with food, but also offer safe shelter.
Don’t forget to keep fresh water available. A bird bath will do wonders, giving them a spot to drink and splash about.
With these tips, you’ll hopefully have robins bringing charm and cheer to your garden throughout autumn. 🌿🐤 Happy gardening!
