Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.1. Bird feeder
£40, johnlewis.com
A hipster home demands a hipster bird feeder – and they certainly don't come much cooler than this number by Eva Solo.
2. Hanging bird table
£85, notonthehighstreet.com
Frankly massive and possibly the poshest bird feeder around. No covered sides, though, so all those nuts can get blown around.
3. Traditional bird table
£9.99, robertdyas.co.uk
No trees? No problem, as this table comes with its own supporting structure. It is also remarkably cheap given its pine construction.
4. Bird nesting box
£6, magpieliving.co.uk
A little nest, for little birds to brave the winter in. Made of a twisted rattan that allows for ventilation, but nicely stays the wind.
5. Hedgehog house
£44.95, wildforms.co.uk
Featured on BBC Autumnwatch, it's the perfect sheltered feeding area. The door is predator-proof, so only hedgehogs, etc can get in.
6. Mounted squirrel feeder
£17.99, www.wilko.com
Why shouldn't squirrels have a place to call their own? This is specifically made with the little grey- and red-tails in mind.
7. Window feeder
£11.50, keengardener.co.uk
You may live in a block of flats but that doesn't mean you can't do your bit for winter-chilled wildlife. Attaches to your window.
8. Feeding station kit
£21.90, amazon.co.uk
This is positively bacchanalian, with feeders for seeds, peanuts, fat snacks and even suet. Caters for all sorts of little creatures.
9. Dovecote
£155, notonthehighstreet.com
Rather palatial, but it should be, given its cost. Pine construction has eight sides and four doors.
10. Squirrel feeder
£37.71, overstock.com
Don't waste your time trying to keep squirrels out of your bird feeder: give them their own house instead. This one splits into two.
