When it's just that bit too cold to get out of bed to eat breakfast.😋

I don't live in the middle of the New Forest. This is a tiny triangle of woods at the end of my road. But the water I put out there every night is the only water available for miles. Despite some recent rain, the ponds, rivers and streams are all still dry from the drought. So these poor deer, along with badgers, foxes, squirrels, hedgehogs, and all manner of birds are forced to travel miles each night to get to this water. It's a lifesaver for them. Please be a lifesaver for your local wildlife. A dish of water in the back and front - even if you don't have a garden - may mean the difference between life and death to some poor struggling animal. Please keep it full, and keep it clean, every night. Please don't give up, it may take a while for the wildlife to find you. Every single hedgehog through these hospital doors this year has been suffering from dehydration. It's heartbreaking, hearing these dear sweet animals gasp their last breath, knowing that if someone, somewhere, only turned on their tap and put out some water this precious life would have been saved. Our wildlife are dying of thirst. In this green and pleasant land. Weather and conditions have changed, and we need to change too, and help out those less fortunate than ourselves. It's such a small effort, for such a huge reward.❤️‍🩹
