Insectivorous birds — tits, robins, dunnocks, wrens, finches in their nestling phase — eat enormous quantities of garden pests through spring and summer. A pair of blue tits feeding nestlings will get through several hundred caterpillars a day; long-tailed tits work through aphid colonies methodically; robins follow you round the vegetable garden cleaning up leatherjackets and other soil pests as you dig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's why a feeding station like this works particularly well alongside our biological pest controls and the wider organic-gardening kit we stock.
