A place to breed
Here are a few ideas:
1. Pond for frogs and dragonflies.
2. A buckthorn bush for brimstone butterflies.
3. Trees, shrubs and nestboxes for birds.
4. Tube-bundles - short lengths of drinking straws, hollow canes or plant stems tied in bundles are excellent nesting sites for small, harmless solitary bees.
5. Bumblebee pots - loosely fill a medium-sized plant pot with dry moss, make sure the hole in the base of the pot is at least a 20 mm across, then bury it upside down in the ground. Protect the entrance from rain with a few stones and watch for bees going in and out
trees and shrubs, including oak, willow, birch, bramble, hazel and holly.
6. Nettle patch - good for butterflies.
