Water for Wildlife

Hello folks.

Please remember to put out shallow dishes of water for hedgehogs, foxes, bees, birds & all the other wonderful creatures. It's been seriously dry for the vast majority of the UK & lots of animals are being taken into rescues dehydrated. Top up bird baths & ground level water sources please people.

 

I've got 4 32inch plastic disses and a ditch which only drys up in a bad dought year so i'm lucky

 

Wish I was that privileged Had a brief shower today & that's the first in about 3 months!

 

Good idea for a thread!

I keep bowls of water in the garden anyway but I did buy an el cheaper bird bath yesterday for the patio. I drink a lot of boiled water in the mornings and when it goes cold in the cup, I wanted somewhere to put the last bit so it wasn't wasted

 

I've always got bowls of water on the ground for the hedgehogs. The Blackbirds like to drink from them too and then take a bath in the bowls. I have bird baths but they like the hog bowls best.

 

Unfortunately hedgehog's cant get in my garden, but I do have a bird bath, I recently put a CCTV camera on it, its very busy all day long various birds turn up for a drink/bath, in warm weather I can easily top it up three times a day,

This is it now, one night a owl will turn up for a drink.
