My UK Wildlife Garden Birds

- A selection of some of the 39 species of birds that visit my garden. I have gradually changed my urban aback garden into a wildlife friendly area by adding water features, fruit and berry bushes & trees and letting the ivy cover the fence, trees and back of the house. I have introduced a rough grass area and encouraged wild flowers such as trefoil, knapweed, nettles & teasel to grow. By year round feeding & adding nest boxes I have recorded 39 different species of birds including predators, which I suppose is a sign of a well stocked wildlife garden.

I appreciate the time and effort it takes to put this up. Beautiful footage of our feathered friends. We must do all we can to make sure they can live alongside us.
Thanks for your kind comments, I’m only too glad to share the joy that my birds give me.
The UK has some very beautiful birds! Thank you for posting!!❤❤❤
A great video - thanks for putting it together. A sparrowhalk is rare in a garden. Likes high vantage points and to be out-of-sight. Had one take out a bird behind my house - but it was more rough ground than a garden.
Beautiful selection of colourful garden birds. So relaxing to watch.
Beautiful video, you must have a brilliant wildlife garden. Unfortunately I life in a flat where 3 flats all own a small piece of grass, I have managed to get a feeder station, bird table and a few potted plants and have managed to attract about 22 species in total but certainly no goldcrests or warblers of any description. Very well done indeed, you’ve created something special.
My cat loves this video. Thanks.
Excellent clarity. The best I,ve had in my garden was a Goldcrest. My neighbour once had a golden pheasant which was quite a sight!
Fantastic selection of birds to get in your garden. Your garden looks like a great habitat for birds.l particularly liked the bird bathing areas. Thank you.
+Wild Suburbia UK Thank you for watching and for your kind comments.
Thank you for a really useful, informative and beautiful video. I love it.
Lovely filming. Really shows how great views can be had just from the garden
Thank you Paul for your kind comments.
A great video, many thanks.
What an amazing video, I am so envious of all your varieties. Thanks for sharing this and keep them coming.
Thank you Karen for your very kind comments, and yes I hope to keep them coming as I get such pleasure from filming birds.
Wonderful view of garden and bird🌳🌳
Thank you very much for nice sharing👍👍👍
Take care my dear friend 💕🌷
What a Beautiful Show of the most common garden birds 👌❤️ , had everyone of those except the Jay Feeding in my Garden! Truly privileged to have seen these on my Feeders xxx
splendide work bravo !
Fantastic birdlife in a superb garden. Thanks, Russell
Excellent video. Very well done indeed!
Very nice!..... Please keep them coming.
Thanks for your kind comments and for subscribing to my channel
What a beautiful garden & such a diverse range of gorgeous feathered friends you have
Brilliant. Great video. Thanks
Thank you Jules for your very kind comments. I live on the outskirts of Shrewsbury in the rural county of Shropshire. We have houses to the back and both sides but at the front is the river Severn and then open country.
I live in Shrewsbury but only get coal and blue tits ... send some over my way 😀
Very nice, great work, thanks.
Beautiful video! Thank you so much for sharing and posting. Watching bird videos help ease my mind and anxiety esp when I can't go out bird watching in real life. Thank you!!
I have tried to provide birds & wildlife with as many of their basic needs as possible, namely shelter, food and water. I have gradually changed my garden area by adding water features, fruit and berry bushes & trees & letting the ivy cover the fence, & back of the house. I have added nest boxes and feed the birds all year round with top quality seed mixes, plus Nyjer seed, Sunflower hearts, Raisins, Peanut Granules, Suit Blocks, Apples in the winter & most important of all Live Mealworms.
What a great video seeing all the different birds in your garden great.
Went to the UK a number of years ago and fell in love with your birds!
This is delightful. Thanks for sharing, Mr Baker.
Thank you John for watching and for your comments.
I've just watched this with my 3 year old and she is enthralled. What a wonderful video. I'll be following your tips and hopefully we'll have some more of the 39 in our garden next year!
Thank you Lauren for your very kind comments and I hope you do attract many more birds to your garden.
Thank you Maurice. This was a joy to watch and very well filmed. Best wishes for the future.
Too good to see you on sp birds paradise
Beautiful video. I've just moved into a now house and set up some feeders and your video is great for identification purposes. Thank you so much
Excellent quality video! Enjoyed greatly - just wish it were longer - please do some more! You've obviously developed a great garden for attracting birds, as well.
Thank you so much for your very generous comments, and yes I am working on a longer version at the moment. As for my garden I think it probably looks more attractive to the birds than it does to many peoples eyes at some times of the year. Sorry for delay in replying but my computer crashed 3 weeks ago.
Here in Virginia in the United States, we just had a major snow storm that deposited about 15" of snow over the yard. I have been keeping my one hanging feeder filled and sprinkling food on the patio, as well.
Being snowed in has given me time to watch and keep track of the birds here. In just the last few days, I have seen Carolina Chickadees, Tufted Titmice, White-Breasted Nuthatches, Downy Woodpeckers, Carolina Wrens, Eastern Bluebirds, Snowbirds, White-Throated Sparrows, Virginia Cardinals, English Sparrows, Mourning Doves and one solitary Song Sparrow. Those are just the birds that have been actively feeding up near the house.
Feeding and watching birds can bring a never-ending source of delight.
What a wonderful selection of birds, Your a very lucky man!!
Thank you Stuart, I have tried over time to make my garden as bird friendly as possible.
Excellent film put together very well, a joy to watch in what must be a beautiful garden.
Thank you Philip for your kind comments, I an pleased that you enjoyed watching it.
Just what I was looking for. A nice birds video
Stunning, thank you, loved it. I never quite understand why one would get a 'dislike' on bird postings, and recordings of song birds, whats not to like. Thanks again.
+Max-Andrew McMillan Thank you for your generous comments. As you say it would be nice to get some constructive criticism with the 'dislikes' .;.
+Maurice Baker for sure, criticism without education is not readable. I have now watched your filming twice, and I say it again, thank you, and your work on this is stunning.
Absolutely stunning Maurice..Thank you for posting.
Thank you for watching and for your very kind comment
Brilliant video, thanks for sharing!
Thank you Ben for vowing my video and foe your kind comment.
Fantastic video. Very well done.
prepare you for sharing this video thank you very much.
these were formerly dinosaurs... I love all of them, so cute!!
I am a US birdwatcher, and I'll visit the UK next week. Thanks for the preview.
Thanks Adam, I hope you enjoy your visit to the UK and see plenty of good birds.
Such a delightful video, many thanks for sharing !!
Beautiful video! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Sandra for your comment and your Like.
What a great video of all the gorgeous garden birds in the UK.. you are so lucky wherever it is you live.. i have a few different varieties which visit my garden but nothing compared to yours.. some of these i have never seen before in the wild.. keep up the good work they its lovely to see.
What a good video this is. I have wondered about many of the birds that arrive at my garden feeders but struggled to recognise them. Many thanks Maurice.
Thank you Dave for your comments, I am glad that you enjoyed it and found it useful in identifying some of your garden visitors.
A very nice video that I enjoyed very much. Your garden looks to be well favoured by a real mix. Well done pacience and effort certainly paid off
Great video. I've become a bird watcher thanks to my cat. Thanks for putting their names on screen. Helps me learn the different types. Thank you! :-)
All of these birds are so cute, thanks Morris
I have always enjoyed wildlife but have until this spring failed to notice the great variety of small birds we have in this country. I thought I knew most of the more common ones but since learning of the chiffchaff have been seeing more and more I need to look up... Great little video Maurice, you've had your eyes open mate.
What a bunch of colorful birds all in one place
Lovely videos maurice see so many birds
Beautiful video Maurice. I am based in Kerry for last couple of years and have tried to encourage garden birds to visit - quite a few species you have are not common here e.g. woodpecker..otherwise seeing most here over the year. Right now (Nov-Feb) a huge number of siskins feeding on peanuts. Such a joy to watch every morning with 1st coffee on patio! I appreciate your advice on planting teasel etc..will do that next - have a 1/2 acre of scrubby boggy land with nothing but weeds/reeds - if you have had such tremendous success in an urban garden my chances should be good! Well done again and thanks for sharing!
What a wonderful collection of birds! I like your video very much!
I Love Your UK garden birds!
What a beautiful video! Thankyou :)
Thank you for your generous comment
Thank you for sharing this beautiful video 😍🐦❤️
A very bird-rich garden you have. Lovely film!
im jealous of how many bird you get in your garden
What a wonderful video. I have been attracting birds to my garden over the last few months and your video is an inspiration. Thank you.
Thanks Andy for your very kind comments, keep feeding the birds and I hope you get as much pleasure from watching them as I do.
You have such a variety of birds visiting you. And the photography is stunning. Thank you 😊
Nice video, I was actually struggling to identify a bird I had photoed, but seeing your Reed Bunting gave him an identity, so thanks!!
Great effort on the trees and wildflowers. Great patience to capture them so well too.
Wonderful footage, thank you Maurice :-)
Thanx for the beautiful footage!
+DoubleUsounds Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment.
+Maurice Baker Man, I HAD to :-) Next to yours, my bird footage looks very amateuristic!
Great stuff, what an array of visitors to your garden, very privileged indeed.
What lovely birds som many colors
Great work, great video. Thank you
Thank you for your generous comments
Thanks for uploading! Beautiful birds!
Some very nice sharp shots there. Well done.
Nice channel! I like looking nature, explore and loosen up...
Thank you for your kind comments.
Fantastic footage, well done on a great video 👌
I like the calm bird sounds
Well done Maurice. This really is beautiful footage.
What a great variety of visitors you get in your garden! Looks like they get well treated to lots of food too. Lovely to see them all so close.
Vivir, sabiendo que esos seres son parte de nuestra existencia es el mejor deleite. Gracias por tener un corazón inteligente y compasivo. Gema Ramírez. Cuenca,Ecuador.
Very nice clear images that are quite an education for this Yank in the North Woods of the Upper Great Lakes who knows different robins and goldfinches than those in the UK. Great job on transforming your garden/yard into habitat and thanks for sharing the results.
Thank you for your very kind comments. I try to do what I can to share are more crowded space, this side of the pond, with the birds and wildlife. I assume by where you live that there must be much more space for wildlife and probably a greater number of species as well.
Maurice Baker I live in what's called the Northern Highlands of Wisconsin, not too far south of Lake Superior, maybe a 90 minute drive at its closest. Lots of space for wildlife, with state and national forests surrounding our small town, but you certainly do very well on the range of species you have attracted to your garden. Our winter visitors at our feeders and garden flower seed-heads have been hairy and downy woodpeckers, white- and red-breasted nuthatches, chickadees, starlings, pine siskins, redpolls, bluejays, mourning doves, and gold finches. There are owls about, but only heard hooting at night, not seen. Been a while since we've had a hawk pinching a songbird among the backyard pines. On the ground, we have cottontail rabbits and grey squirrels, and I think some voles working under the snow pack.
Just retired myself and know what it's like and how much work goes into reshaping a yard into a garden and habitat. Been a project of many years for me. I took more than a ton of sod out of the small front garden alone. I hate mowing grass.
You've got s fabulous collection of birds there.
An impressive list of garden birds...the rewards of a diverse wildlife habitat.We need more people like you Maurice !
That really is an excellent video and so good to have the names as I can't identify all of those birds. Leo , South Africa
I wish I had your garden, any garden for that matter! I use window and balcony feeders as we only have a ground floor balcony and only have house sparrows even though they are terribly cute :)
Good work! I enjoyed learning the names!
+Marianne T Thank you Marianne, I am glad that you enjoyed it and that it helped in naming some of the birds
Beautiful, thanks for sharing.
+folkiekev Thank you for watching and for your comments.
Great footage! Brilliant film.
+djash2000 Thank you so much for viewing and for your ki8nd comments.
Aw, lovely to see that Bullfinch at 0:32, I'm jealous. :D
I used to see so many back in the 1980s, now they never come
Very nice water feature, the birds appear to really love it, must get around to trying to do something similar in my garden. Thanks for the inspiration to give it a go.
Thanks Stephen for your comments and I am pleased to hear that you are going to add some water features to your garden, I’m sure the birds will appreciate it. Take a look at one of my other videos, “Attracting birds to your garden with running water”
Thank you Maurice I will do that. I am not to far away from you and get a steady resident feeding group of common garden birds, along with the odd passing special in my tiny garden, the ground level water bowl under the apple tree appears to be a favourite of the ever growing number of Blackbirds that visit throughout the day.
Truly,a garden of Eden.
What a wonderful video! I loved to look at it. You filmed some birds that since long for me are still a wish to see them once and try to make some nice pictures for my website.
Thanks a lot!
Fantastic collection of birds.....expertly filmed...loved it !
So impressive. Beautiful. Thank you.
Thanks Gila for your generous comments.
Beautiful video, I am trying to attract more birds to my garden! I hope to have as many as you one day! :)
39 species - Amazing. And the garden looks fantastic.
Thank you for showing this video.
Hi Maurice, some really beautiful footage you have there. Thanks for uploading. I was lucky enough to have filmed some junior blackbirds feeding from their rather tired looking parents on my patio last year, they were regular visitors, quite a privilege really and always a joy to watch! Please feel free to have a look.
Thanks again, Paul B, have subscribe to your channel and look forward to future uploads.
What a brilliant variety of wild birds you have, really enjoyable film....gave it a thumbs up !
Lovely, greetings Maurice.
Thank you Anny for your comments and for subscribing.
You´re welcome Maurice.
Wow, what an incredible video! Great footage!
Just came across your bird vids from a long mynd site and what brilliant camera footage. Your garden is a haven for all these birds. Its quite amazing to see so many different types. My barren garden welcomed two blackbirds this year , also in Shrewsbury.
Thank you for your kind comments, It sounds as though I may have to loan you a few of my birds for your garden.!
I have a bird but i am not sure what it is
Wow just stumbled on your site and immediately subscribed. After spending all day watching the birds in my garden. Only 16 species with a first for us with the gold crest 1 week ago and today fieldfares. I hope one day to encourage more. Thanks
Thank you Sue, only 16 species, that sounds a good start to me!
