Treat your feathered friends to a new home. Give a prickly pal a place to stay, or set friendly insects up with their very own AirBeeNBee. We have homes for nature's great and small in our pick of the best wildlife houses.
Just remember, if you're feeding the local wildlife, keep their feeders clean and disinfected. Don't bring a feeder inside to be cleaned. Do it outdoors, with separate utensils.
Keep an eye on how much food your little friends are eating, too. If it takes a few days to go down, reduce the amount you're offering. Otherwise, the leftovers could attract rats and other vermin.
Don't paint or treat your little wildlife sanctuary either. The chemicals might cause harm to your furry or feathered friends.

This sustainable plywood and bamboo construction provides sanctuary for beautiful butterflies. Open up the back to add twigs and straw, which should encourage them to roost. It's best to hang it close to flowering plants in a sheltered location, away from any strong wind. Don't keep it completely out of the sun though – dappled sunlight is best if you want Red Admirals and Common Blues to flutter on over.

Less of a home, and more of a fast food joint for birds, this little gadget is going cheep (!) at Wilko. Pull off the top and fill it with peanuts or suet pellets, then unclip the hanging strap and attach it to the nearest tree. It's been designed so it's easy to pour in more food without having to detach the feeder again. The lip at the bottom catches dropped food and doubles as a perch.

Once you've chosen your wildlife house, you might fancy hooking up an outdoor camera so you can keep an eye on it when you're out and about. Or you could keep it old school and watch from a window. Just remember, if you do end up with tenants, try not to bother them too much. You could even make a tiny 'do not disturb' sign for their new home.
