Heat

[sam r 356]

A bit late. I know with the weather looking like it’s going to break but I went up to the woods Saturday morning to check squirrel feeders , hardly been touched in weeks but I did add a small drinking pot to each one and refilled the pheasant drinkers even though we’ve got no birds this season , and even filled an empty trough with water so everything could at least have a small drink , birds hares and dear a like even mr fox , all need water like we do

What a good idea Sam 

Some times we are wrapped up in what we are doing we don't think about the wildlife in this heat 

Topclass son 

Now I'm going to do the same

Nice one mate, i do the same, freshwater down daily , both on communal gardens, and my own front garden, birds, insects, hedgehogs all get stuck in

Not the biggest I know but it’s added with pheasant drinkers dotted about will help out

Yrs the garden is fine as I do but not seen much in my garden in recent weeks and with so much natural food about oaks and horse chestnut shutting themselves down to preserve themselves you know it’s bad so getting to those places that are only usually use to shoot a little water could go a long way to helping our wildlife out

Lately seeing loads of sparrows drinking out the dogs water bowls in the runs so maybe there not a lot of folk  putting water out in the summer ?.

We had a red kite drinking from garden pond few weeks back!! Wish I'd got picture, hasn't come back since.
