Autumn Choose a site for and plant evergreen shrubs. Sow tree seeds, preferably native species. If space allows, plan to create a woodland habitat. Take down and clean out any bird boxes and reposition them. New boxes can be put up in autumn as they will provide winter roosting sites for smll birds such as wrens. Butterflies and bats may alos take advantage of the welcome winter shelter. Ensure bird tables are clean and securely sited. Plant spring-flowering bulbs, such as narcissi.
