This winter may be the worst for wild birds since the epic freezes of 1963 and 1947.
Views from satellites show the British Isles white from John o'Groats to Lands End: frozen
in the same relentless air stream from Siberia, much of central and northern Europe
shivers beneath an icy blanket. Yes - it is novel, beautiful and a 'first' for a whole
generation of youngsters, but for every day the freeze continues, more wild birds will die.
It is a catastrophe for them, on a continental scale.
Sadly, we can't do anything for birds starving on our local heaths, farmland, marshes and
ice-sheathed mudflats, but we can all ensure the survival of at least some of our garden
birds. When the snow finally melts away, things may appear to be back to normal. Don't
be mislead: the few birds in your garden will be just the toughest survivors of the ordeal.
Please feed and provide water for your garden birds today, and every day, to bring as
many as possible through this disaster, and keep feeding them in the spring to ensure
they nest successfully and begin the long process of rebuilding the bird populations in
our villages.

Are you searching for a place to visit or to stay for a holiday which is off the beaten
track, but reachable ? Then welcome to the website for the Suffolk villages of
Hollesley, Boyton, Capel St Andrew and Shingle Street. The pace of life is slower
here, but your days will be filled with variety and interest. Great countryside, the
coast and wildlife are close for you to enjoy. If you like walking, cycling, photography,
bird watching, painting, writing or just meandering, the peace and beauty of the pine
-dotted landscapes beneath the great Suffolk sky will delight you. This cluster of
small villages and hamlets lies near the southern tip of the Sandlings Peninsula that
is renowned for its wild and beautiful coast, tracts of inland heathland, forests and
open farmland. When you navigate these pages or look at our Picture Gallery, we
think you will see why we are excited by what's here.
We look forward to sharing it with you.
