With temperatures of 35 degrees forecast for parts of the U.K there is little respite in sight for wildlife wilting in the sun. Don’t forget to top up bird baths and leave very shallow saucers of water for birds and other wildlife at home and on your allotment. As natural water sources dry up we can provide a lifeline for birds and hedgehogs as they can dehydrate in hot temperatures. Food sources for wildlife can be scarce in the blistering heat so make sure we leave out extra food sources for our wildlife.
