Interview with A Little Bird Company
This month, I had the pleasure of chatting with April Mayne, a passionate wildlife photographer and conservation advocate who documents her bird-filled garden on her popular Instagram account, @thebirdsinthegarden. April began feeding the birds a couple of years ago, and it quickly blossomed into a full-fledged passion. She's now involved in bird ringing and wildlife conservation. From house sparrows to her dream bird, the sparrowhawk, April shares her love for birdwatching and photography. She offers simple tips for beginners, like investing in quality feeders, providing water, and planting natural food sources. For more, visit @thebirdsinthegarden or the BTO website!
