Some of our smaller feathered friends can be trapped in plant netting when looking for food and water. Please ensure that your netting is fixed securely enough to keep them out. You can help them by leaving fruit scraps and dishes of water somewhere easily accessible and away from netting. The bees and other pollinators 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.
