Bird of the Month - April
Fantails are very common at this time of the year, having produced young and chasing insects during the last autumn weather before winter. Winter has a devastating effect on small birds like the fantail but during the season they breed prolifically and are a common companion in the garden. You can attract small insect eating birds to your garden by planting a range of tangly shrubs like Coprosma that provide nesting habitat and food - insects.
