Finally, today marks the first day of BBC’s Springwatch programme which sees over 100 camera operators working over 50 different cameras. Which therefore brings the ever-changing wilderness to the comfort of your own home.

From birds in their nests to badgers in their sets it sees the nation getting involved with wildlife. With extraordinary streams and beautiful images. It’s a sight to inspire wildlife spotting in your own home.

Lake District Wildlife

Heading to the Lake District to my Grandparent’s home armed with a Boxwild Bird Box under arm we headed for the sunshine. Boxwild is a brand new subscription and gift service for those who absolutely love the outdoors. Watching wildlife and bringing birds, squirrels, hedgehogs and other creatures into their garden.

Boxwild not only offer a monthly, quarterly or seasonal subscription service of different levels. They also offer an array of different one-off gift boxes including a box specifically for birds and one for hedgehogs.

Feeders

With the Boxwild bird box priced at £28 which includes not only a great quality metal bird feeder. But also a kitsch fat ball hanger in a soft grey and green colour. The packaging stuffing in which the box is full of upon arrival can also be hung onto this wooden house-shaped fat ball holder. Thus us for the birds to take away for their nests. This lovely additional thought really makes for a special gift.

Different Mixes

Inside the box, you’ll find three packets of different bird seed mixtures.  Including All-Season Mix, Songbird mixture and a Winter mix. On the back of each package, there is a full description of the seeds used. And most interestingly the birds in which it attracts.

From robins and blue tits to giant Herons frequently visiting the garden in the Lake District we were excited to see the birds that would be attracted to the feeder.

Hanging them in a tree where there’s usually a flurry of wildlife activity we filled the feeder with the Songbird mixture and skewered half an apple onto the hanging tree. Then, we waited for the best hummingbird feeder for our garden to work its magic.

Perfect gift

This is a gift that keeps on giving to those who absolutely love birds. A gorgeous high-quality seed mixture and seed holders are perfect to give the gift to signify the beginning of Springwatch. Alternatively with Father’s Day coming up on 18th June why not surprise the man in your life who is always looking into the garden with a Boxwild gift box.

The Boxwild bird box, priced at £28, includes a high-quality metal bird feeder and a charming fat ball hanger.
