Kate Bradbury the Wildlife Gardener

I have just finished this wonderful book. Gardening for wildlife is one of life's joys. Seeing birds visit your bird table or watching them flit to handle from feeders is for me better watching than most things on the television. Personally I have been a bird watcher from an early age and still remember receiving a copy of the Observer book of Birds at around age of seven and I had a vast array of wildlife books around that time from aunts and uncles. Now at the tender age of 62 I still  enjoy watching birds and although I cannot get into our garden anymore (wheelchairs don't negotiate steps) I give the odd direction to the wife. We both like to see nature flourishing and Kate Bradbury has written this wonderful book to help and encourage even the most timorous of gardeners.
The photographs are excellent and are all in glorious colour. The text is written for the beginner as well as the expert. The cover has a quote from Alan Tichmarsh describing it as "a joyous book" which is praise indeed.

I recently also read The Bumblebee Flies Anyway: A Year of Gardening and wildlife also written by Kate Bradbury. So if you really want a wildlife fest go get a copy or do as I did and order it from  your local Library. Kate is a good writer and draws you into her wild(life) world. She writes for several publications Gardeners world Magazine (BBC)  the Sunday Times The Guardian RHS Magazine and many others,
