Woodland birds
Nectar rich flowers with berries are a great food source for birds. Also dense hedges provide nesting opportunities for birds.
Heathlands are a wonderful place to spot birds of prey such as merlins.
Orchard trees such as apple trees are a perfect habitat for birds such as woodpeckers.
Open grassland provides hunting spots for birds of prey such as barn owls.
