<\/p>

In the heat of summer it doesn\u2019t take much effort to pop a few drinking stations out for wildlife.<\/strong><\/h3>

<\/p>

Obviously, look after yourself, if it\u2019s hot and summery where you are because then you will be able to look after others, your pets, and wildlife too.<\/p>

Stay hydrated folks \ud83d\udca7:-<\/strong><\/p>

Use fresh high-water content fruit & veg foods to replace electrolytes, like strawberries \ud83c\udf53 lettuce \ud83e\udd6c celery, melon \ud83c\udf49 sprouts \ud83c\udf31 etc<\/p>

Wake with the sun and do your outside activities early.<\/p>

Come indoors while the sun\u2019s high or set up shade spaces for you, your little ones to play under and your pets to rest under.<\/p>

Remember spaces like tents \u26fa\ufe0f or cars \ud83d\ude98 can create heat overload and can be deadly, even though keeping the sun off.<\/p>

Pets<\/strong><\/p>

Pets in cages or tanks , near windows in full Sun, need to be moved temporarily. And you could put a bowel of ice cubes in front of a fan , or turn the fan away from your pets and draw hot air away from them depending on your situation.<\/p>

You can put pet water bowls with some ice cubes in to prevent evaporation in an empty bowl, if you are out all day. And check out quality made cooling mats that aren\u2019t going to be eaten and ripped apart in five minutes.<\/p>

We do have a little quick \u2018heat stroke awareness\u2019 wiki link below, as it is always good to refresh your knowledge pool. Take out of it what you want.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>

\u2026but once every one has planned for safety (I write this at 3.20pm Maidstone U.K. and the temp is 36 Celsius \/ 96.8 Fahrenheit) \u2026<\/p>

Why not make a few easy peasy drinking stations for our pollinators, birds and small animals like frogs, mice and even the neighbours cat.<\/h3>

<\/p>

Some of you may already have bird baths, in which case remember that the water will evaporate quickly in this kind of heat. Take a few minutes to top up each morning and perhaps evening.<\/p>

\"\"
Our watering stations around our allotment garden. Where perhaps a few flowers would have cascaded from Jeremy Fisher\u2019s boat, we have filled with water for now. <\/em><\/strong>

<\/p>

If you are making drinking stations for birds and insects they need a graduating incline or protruding stones.<\/p>

We made these ones above out of plant pot saucers<\/em> that we already had and some stones. But you can use sticks and bin lids perhaps. We, also , turned the rainwater butt cover over and filled with water.<\/p>

We have used a garden ornament too. Jeremy fisher doesn\u2019t seem to mind his boat is full of water instead of him keeping it out. Jeremy is an amphibian and needs to stay moist. If you usually have a small nature pond in your garden then remember to top up with more filtered water to make sure your frogs, toads and newts can stay cool and wet too.<\/p>

All of these drinking stations will need regularly topping up with water as it will evaporite quickly. But we are sure as you water your plants it won\u2019t take much time to pop a few drops in your make shift or super duper life saving wildlife.<\/p>

Your plants and wildlife would prefer rain or filtered water for long term health but if tap is all you\u2019ve got nothings going to complain in these conditions . If you are right into the insect wildlife support, you may like to leave out melon or cucumber slices etc. even banana has moisture and sugars. But don\u2019t be leaving these items around to encourage mice, rats and foxes into your beautiful dahlia beds.<\/p>


\"\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Heat_stroke<\/a><\/p>

If you found this free wiki HEAT STROKE page useful please consider donating to their Web Encyclopaedia<\/a><\/p>

We have personal heard from paramedics, that for preventative cooling, it is better to have a slightly cooler, than body temp, shower or flannel bath, rather than ice cold and dry by evaporation, or fan dry depending on humidity levels. The above link is for actual medical condition of heat stroke.<\/em><\/p>

and we thought this text from the wiki page was important to emphasise\u2026<\/p>

\u201cWhen the outside temperature is 21\u00a0\u00b0C (70\u00a0\u00b0F), the temperature inside a car parked in direct sunlight can quickly exceed 49\u00a0\u00b0C (120\u00a0\u00b0F). Young children or elderly adults left alone in a vehicle are at particular risk of succumbing to heat stroke. \"Heat stroke in children and in the elderly can occur within minutes, even if a car window is opened slightly.\"<\/em>[14]<\/em><\/a>\u00a0As these groups of individuals may not be able to open car doors or to express discomfort verbally (or audibly, inside a closed car), their plight may not be immediately noticed by others in the vicinity. In 2018, 51 children in the United States died in hot cars, more than the previous high of 49 in 2010.<\/em>[15]<\/em><\/a><\/p>

Dogs are even more susceptible than humans to heat stroke in cars, as they cannot produce whole-body sweat to cool themselves. Leaving the dog at home with plenty of water on hot days is recommended instead, or, if a dog must be brought along, it can be\u00a0<\/em>tied up<\/em><\/a>\u00a0in the shade outside the destination and provided with a full water bowl.<\/em>[16]<\/em><\/a>\u201d<\/em><\/p>

We don\u2019t have air con so we ourselves are using :-<\/p>

Wet flannels stored in a container (in the fridge) and dabbing our skin ( especially face and back of neck ) so the water can cool us as it evaporates.<\/p>

Body temperature water or drinks can pass through the body systems quicker and hysterectomy you faster than ice cold drinks that have to be warmed by the body first. Remember fizzy drinks, juices and ice cream have sugars \/ fats in (additional energy) and can contribute to overall body heat.<\/p>

Hand sized spray top bottles (from your pharmacy or skin care shop) are great with a little of your fav. calming essential oil in and, again, sprayed over face, neck, arms is convenient if you have to travel, or are in meetings and it isn\u2019t convenient to go dunk yourself in a sink full of water. (I have lavender in my mister). This can be an easy support for young overheated children.<\/p>

Please do your own research on how high temps plus high humidity (wet bulb effect) as this is very dangerous if you don\u2019t already know.<\/p>

Also, if you are only a third dehydrated your brain won\u2019t send you signals that you need water.<\/p>

\u2026back to the bird baths.<\/strong>

This one is in mum\u2019s back garden, and when the local crow isn\u2019t dunking the neighbours\u2019 an old bread slices in it, to soften them, the smaller birds are bathing and drinking. Just some pebbles and water - nothing fancy - if you can place your water station in the shade we think that\u2019s better! But place where the birds can see if any cats or foxes are hovering.
