Hi - I will be moving to a new house in Argyll. The garden needs a lot of work/redesigning!
The garden is on a bit of a slope and gets a lot of rain. I'll also be in midgie country (why am I moving again?!?). Anyway, my plan is to put in plants that like to suck up a lot of water, but that will also attrack birds - hopefully, to eat the midgies!
Would you be able to suggest some shrubs and flowering plants that would be suitable?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the suggestions.
The garden is west-facing and gets a lot of sun.
Sorry, don't have a photo, as I haven't moved in yet :-)

West facing should mean it only gets sun in the afternoons, Kera2811. The approximate size of the area would be useful to know.

I know birds would love pyracantha or cotoneaster berries... can you re-post this question with a photo of the site? Is it sun or shade?
