HERE’S a tip for anyone who has to face the stresses and strains of our busy roads.

Get a bird feeder, place it where you get a good close view but where the birds can’t see you, binoculars are good too.

What rewards you will get.

Robins, tits, blackbirds and if you’re really lucky, wrens and goldfinches.

Just watch their antics, there’s definitely a pecking order. Learn to love all aspects of nature and nature will love you back.
