When the weather drops below zero, it becomes even more important for you to feed your garden birds on a daily basis. Throughout the UK, the first and last frost date can vary hugely, so take a look below for an idea of when you can expect the freezing weather to start and end.
The first frost date refers to the average first date that the temperature drops below 0°C and the last frost date is the average last day that the temperature drops below 0°C.
What to feed birds during cold weather?
During the freezing weather, opt for a bird seed mix that is high in fat to provide the birds with the highest amount of energy possible. Our Peckish Winter Warmer Seed Mix & Peckish Winter Warmer Suet Cake are fantastic options for the colder months.
