Worth knowing can help wildlife thrive during the hot weather
As the UK braces for a return of hot sunny weather this weekend, gardeners are being encouraged to leave a bucket of muddy water in their gardens. The larger the container - such as a tub typically used for collecting leaves or hedge trimmings - the better, as it increases the chances of boosting your garden's wildlife during the heatwave.
The Met Office has forecasted 24-26C sunshine from Friday through Sunday, making it an ideal time to set up a water bucket for frogs and toads. According to The Wildlife Trust, building a pond is the best way to attract frogs to your garden. Ponds serve as crucial habitats for frogs and other amphibians, providing a place for them to reproduce and hydrate, as frogs absorb moisture through their skin rather than drinking through their mouths, reports the Express.
