Remember the birds and bees

Some of our smaller feathered friends have been trapped in plant netting when looking for food and water recently. Help them by ensuring that yours is fixed securely enough to keep them out and by leaving fruit scraps and dishes of water somewhere easily accessible and away from netting. The bees struggle to find a drink in the hot weather so they could also benefit from dishes of water left out. Remember to put a stone or gravel inside the dish to enable them to walk down to the water with minimal risk of drowning.
