Everybody urged to leave water outside house or in garden this summer

After temperatures reached highs of 20C over the weekend, the warm weather will continue to hit the UK throughout the summer. Of course, nothing’s better than the sun being out during the holidays but for the wildlife, the dry heat can be harmful.

According to Yorkshire Live, some people have reported seeing dead birds in the street. Now, people are being urged to leave a source of drinking water outside their homes to help the animals.

Whether it’s in the garden or on the driveway people have been advised to help the wildlife that could be struggling with the lack of water in the warm weather. It is hoped that the supply of drinking water might help keep foxes, hedgehogs, birds and even bees and wasps' thirsts quenched.
