Badger Badgers are stocky, with short legs and silvery-grey fur. They have very distinctive black and white markings on their faces. More...

Bat box Hanging a bat box in a suitable position can help local populations. They are easy to make and widely available to buy. More...

Birdbath Birds need water in all seasons. Birdbaths should be sited carefully; birds need clear visibility, nearby bushes for cover and perches on which to sit and preen. More...

Birdtable Birdtables can be free-standing, hanging or fixed to a wall or fence, and are an excellent way to feed garden birds. More...

Bog garden It is well worth considering creating a boggy area as a feature in your wildlife garden - any permanently damp area will suffice. More...

Bramble A real must in any wildlife garden, blackberry flowers provide nectar and pollen for many insects, it bears fruit in late summer and autumn, and offers good cover all year round. More...

Bug box Bug boxes provide snug, safe places for insects to hibernate - being especially good for lacewings and ladybirds. More...

Bumblebee These large, hairy bees are generally black with varying degrees of yellow banding. Look closely at flowering plants and you’ll probably spot several species. More...

Buddleia Popular with a wide range of insects, the buddleia will tolerate a wide range of soil conditions, but prefers full sun. More...
