Glancing at a few gardens I was annoyed to see that the birdbaths were empty!
It is so important that our duvet wearing friends have a reliable source of water,
so top up the birdbaths,top up your ponds,offer water at low level in a fairly shallow container for shy birds and small mammals etc. CHECK REGULARLY
God bless the people who are regularly putting out water on local footpaths for the dogs being walked in this heat and the shops in the high street that are also considerate in this respect
PS saw a
Fox drinking from a horse trough (one of the very few remaining ones in the area
and it actually works!)
