Binoculars make a great gift for those who enjoy the outdoors

It is calling on everyone to think about nature this festive season and choose gifts that help wildlife thrive and tread lightly on the planet.

Choosing a nature-friendly gift means giving twice: to your loved one and to the wildlife.

The RSPB has released its top 10 Christmas gifts - all designed to bring joy while supporting conservation across the UK.

House sparrows, blue hits swallows and swifts need safe nesting spaces. A nest box makes a thoughtful, practical gift that can support breeding birds in gardens, farms and urban greenspaces.
