Happy Bank Holiday weekend!
Lovely weather, isn't it?๐
Unless you're a nocturnal animal who has to sleep all through the hot day, and wake at night to find no water. No puddles.
No kind dishes.
Unseen.
Unthought of.
Just the tantalising smell of water from a pond you may drown in, or a drain you may get trapped in.
Or a stagnant, dirty old birdbath you may get fatal fluke from.
Hedgehogs need to drink a lot of water to stay healthy.
Please provide clean, fresh, safe, ground level water for our precious wildlife each evening.
Tap water is best.
Pop a dish or two out tonight.
Keep it clean.
Keep it full.
Keep it saving lives.โค๏ธโ๐ฉน
A busy day in the garden, Red Mason bees courting & Early Bumblebee (on epimedium). And to top it all, our two courting Robins have given us a 2nd clutch ๐ชบ in our nest box. We couldn't be happier ๐ @LFi48347@Nottswildlife@The_Buzz_Club@BumblebeeTrust@B_Strawbridge
@Yarrowman1@WriterHannahBT Morning Yarrow & Hannah. Our #FirstBirdOfTheDay was our Robin and one of the fledged little ones hiding under our Fatsima Japonica. ๐ชน๐โฅ๏ธ
