How to feed
It’s good to invest in quality feeders and roofed bird tables, which will keep food dry and stop it going off. As a good start, try: A hanging plastic feeder containing sunflower hearts for (mainly) finches, tits and sparrows, a hanging mesh feeder with peanuts for (mainly) tits, a hanging mesh feeder with fat balls for (mainly) tits and sparrows.
Where to feed
IN THE GARDEN
Open a bird cafe
Appreciate the colours and fascinating behaviour of birds up close, when you put out food for them in your garden. Over half of UK adults put out food for birds – that’s a lot of extra help we’re giving our birds. This feeding will ensure your garden is visited all year round. It’s an easy activity to get kids involved with nature. Don’t worry if it seems to take ages for birds to return to your
What to feed
Different species of birds prefer different foods, in the different seasons and different parts of the country. So try different types of food, and adapt to what works best in your garden. You can try: Bird seed mixtures, black sunflower
feeders in autumn – they’re probably taking advantage of all the seeds, berries and insects that are naturally available at this time. It’s in winter that you will probably get the fastest results from putting up feeders, but any time from autumn to spring is fine. seeds, nyger seeds, bird cake and food bars, live foods and other insect foods, lard and beef suet, cooked rice, uncooked oats, fruit, peanuts. Never put out loose peanuts, dry, hard foods or large chunks of bread during the spring or summer months. Parent birds might take it back to their nests and their young can choke on it.
Information and guidance provided by www.rhs.org.uk and www.rspb.org.uk
8
Place the feeders out in the open and high enough so they are out of reach of ground predators like cats. But they need to be close enough to thick cover like bushes, so that small birds can beat a hasty retreat from aerial predators such as sparrowhawks. Move the feeders to different locations over the course of a year so that you don’t get a build-up of debris underneath.
When to feed
It is fine to feed all year-round - just adjust the amount you put out. In summer, when many birds leave to breed in the countryside, they’ll need less food. And there’s a lot more food available naturally in autumn and even early winter, as flowers set seed and berries ripen. Fatty foods can go off in summer, so remove any which are past their best.
This month’s jobs Clear up fallen autumn leaves regularly. Cut back perennials that have died down. Move tender plants, including aquatic ones, into the greenhouse. Plant out spring cabbages. Harvest apples, pears, grapes and nuts. Prune climbing roses. Order seeds for next year. Last chance to mow lawns and trim hedges in mild areas. Renovate old lawns or create new grass areas by laying turf.

RECIPE
Call us: 0191 4871834 Recipes by Kirsty Hale, Riverford Cook and www.riverford.co.uk/recipes
Vegetable Quesadillas Serves: 4
INGREDIENTS 1 small to medium-sized butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1–2cm dice 1 red pepper, deseeded and cut into 1–2cm dice Kernels from 1 sweetcorn cob 1 red onion, peeled and finely diced ½ tsp ground cumin ¼ tsp ground coriander ¼ tsp paprika A good pinch of smoked paprika 1–2 red chillies (depending on heat and your preference for it), deseeded and finely chopped Light olive oil for roasting, frying and brushing 4 large flour tortillas 150g Cheddar, grated Large handful of coriander leaves Salt and pepper
Method: Heat the oven to 190°C/Gas 5. Toss the squash, pepper, corn, onion, spices, chilli and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large baking dish. Season with salt and pepper. Roast the veg in the oven for 35–40 minutes, until tender, tossing once halfway through so it cooks evenly. Remove from the oven and turn the temperature down low, to approximately 130°C/Gas 1. Brush each tortilla on one side with a little oil and put one into a large non-stick frying pan, oil-side down. Sprinkle some cheese over one half, then the veg mixture, then a few coriander leaves. Fold the other half of the tortilla over to make a semi-circle, gently pressing down with your hands to flatten it slightly. Cook for a couple of minutes, until the underside of the tortilla is crisp and golden brown (keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn). Carefully turn it over and cook the other side until crisp and golden. Keep warm in the oven while you cook the remainder. Cut each one in half to serve.

LOCAL HISTORY
The Derwent Walk
“At its peak in 1914 the railway was carrying over half a million passengers a year” Derwent Walk was a branch railway in County Durham known as The Derwent Valley Railway. Built by the North Eastern Railway, it ran from Swalwell (now in Tyne and Wear) to Blackhill via five intermediate stations, and onwards to Consett. Constructed as an extension of the existing Lanchester Valley Railway, the Lanchester Railway Extension as it was originally known was opened in 1867 after three years building work. Four viaducts were constructed and a deep, 800-metre (870 yd) long cutting was dug near Rowlands Gill. The Nine Arches Viaduct was one of the major engineering feats of the railway. It is 500 ft (150 m) long and was built because the Earl of Strathmore would not allow the railway to pass through the Gibside Estate. At its peak in 1914 the railway was carrying over half a million passengers a year with a regular goods traffic of timber, bricks and coal to Newcastle and iron ore to Consett. The railway is notable for an unsolved murder that occurred at Lintz Green railway station. The stationmaster, Joseph Wilson, met his death on the
night of 7 October 1911. No satisfactory explanation was ever forthcoming despite one of the most intensive murder investigations ever carried out in the North East of England. High Westwood Station was closed in 1942 while the remaining stations survived into the 1950s. The line finally closed on 11 November 1963. The railway is commemorated in the Geordie folk song about an ill-fated train journey from Rowlands Gill, Wor Nanny’s a Mazer. Present day: Durham County Council have since developed the route into a multi-user path and Gateshead Council into a country park, part of the Sustrans network of national foot and cycle paths. The viaducts and bridges were repaired and the track-bed has now become a section of the Sea to Sea Cycle Route.
DID YOU KNOW: The walk is 11 miles long. The Country Park is a mixture of woodlands, meadows, wetlands, riverside and reclaimed industrial sites all linked by the Derwent Walk.
