It's not normal for an owl to use a bird bath to bathe.
But she's desperate.
See how nervous she is?
She wouldn't naturally take such a risk, in such a small space.
But despite some rain and much lower temperatures our soil is still parched, and our ponds and streams and lakes are still dry.
So please keep providing water dishes for our struggling wildlife.
Many people see the birds in the day and provide for them, but our nocturnal animals - the hedgehogs, foxes, badgers, bats and owls - are unseen: their needs unconsidered.
This water tub sits on the bed of a dried out stream, which won't recover from the extended hot weather and drought of the summer for a long time yet.
When the ground becomes this parched, most rain is absorbed by dry earth rather than reaching or refilling ponds, streams, and underground aquifers.
So until our natural water resources recover, please be a life saver and provide clean water each night.
James, I will do you a deal.
If you tell me your favourite cheese, I'll buy your album, change my profile photo to a photo of me holding the album and I'll donate ยฃ250 to a charity of your choice.
