I am thinking of beauty again, how some things are hunted because we have deemed them beautiful. If, relative to the history of our planet, an individual life is so short, a blink, as they say, then to be gorgeous, even from the day you're born to the day you die, is to be gorgeous only briefly.
1 Let your garden go wild Leave undisturbed wild areas in your garden – piles of leaves or brushwood can make the perfect nest in which animals can hide, rest and hibernate. By leaving the task of tidying your garden borders and shrubs until early spring, shelter can be provided for insects throughout winter.
2 Break the ice If your garden pond freezes over, ensure you make a hole in the ice. Toxic gases can build up in the water of a frozen pond, which may kill any fish or frogs that are hibernating at the bottom. When you make a hole in the ice, it is very important to do so by carefully placing a pan of hot water on the surface. Never break the ice with force or tip boiling water onto the pond, as this can harm or even kill any fish that live in it.
3 Feed the birds Birds may find it difficult to find natural foods such as berries, insects, seeds, worms and fruit during this cold season. Therefore, any extra food you can put out will help. Provide a range of seeds, fresh unsalted peanuts and table scraps (cheese and fruits such as apples and pears.) Garden birds also love dried mealworms or waxworms, which can be bought from bird food suppliers.
4 Provide fresh water When the temperatures drop below zero, finding clean fresh water to drink can be difficult for wildlife. You can help by leaving some out for them. It is best to provide fresh water each night in a shallow bowl. Don't add anything to stop the water freezing, and change the water every day to ensure it's fresh.
5 Attract garden visitors with good food When food is scarce, putting out a small amount of an appropriate treat will help to see the mammals visiting your garden through the winter.

📍How do squirrels find their nuts? ✨
🐿 Squirrels choose a specific place - for example, under a large oak tree - and remember.
🐿 Multiple squirrels use the same territory, which increases the chance that they will just find nuts by chance.
🐿 When the squirrel returns, it looks for disturbed soil and sniffs around for a nutty scent. All nuts that are left out end up in new trees.
