Consider planting more herbs. Lavender, Thyme, Marjoram and Rosemary are all popular with our pollinators and easy to grow. Try rosybee.com or jekkas.com for bee safe organic seeds and plants.
Leave an untidy garden as long as you can into spring to provide cover and food for invertebrates and birds.
In freezing weather, boil your kettle and melt the ice on bird baths.
This time of year is perfect for putting up new nest boxes around your house and garden. The RSPB has a good selection and advice on where to site them.
When you are out and about during these short days, stop to listen for birdsong. Robins are singing already to establish their territory, thrushes are starting their repetitive song and little family flocks of Long Tailed Tits pipe to each other as they search for food in the tree tops. The RSPB website has excellent audio tracks of many of our british birds to help you become familiar with their songs
