How to encourage wildlife into your garden
THE Woodland Trust shared five top tips
1. Grow wild
Let nature take its course to create a more attractive environment for all things wild. You don't have to leave your plot to develop into a small jungle – wildlife will thank you for just a small corner, border or planter.
2. Plant trees and shrubs
Research has shown that gardens are more attractive to wildlife if they have trees. And those trees can bring a host of other benefits too, from reducing noise and flooding to fighting climate change.
3. Create homes
If you want to attract a particular species, a ready-made home can look especially appealing to any wildlife passing through.
4. Offer a water source
Water is crucial for wildlife. Making some available in your garden could be a lifeline, especially in extreme weather.
5. Serve an extra meal
One of the best ways to persuade a plethora of wildlife to your patch is to give them access to an easy meal.

However, fans only help to So if you're looking to elevate this and feeling an instant cooling effect, a simple step can help. One mum, only known as @ Advertisement READ MORE ON HOMES For your very own DIY aircon, you will need a fan, water, empty plastic bottles, as well as an optional egg box. The rest is straightforward and foolproof - simply pour some water into the bottles and freeze them overnight. The following morning, she demonstrated in the video, place them in front of your fan and voila, feel the magic happen. The egg box is thought to keep the bottles high enough for the fan air to reach them for the extra cooling effect.

''I'm actually now a bit cold,'' she wrote in the caption. I transformed my garden patio into summer haven for less than £100 with cheap B&M buys including gadget to keep bugs out This trick works creating a localised cooling effect, similar to a personal air cooler. According to experts, ice absorbs heat from the surrounding air as it melts. Advertisement This is why placing ice in front of a fan can help to lower the air temperature. How to keep cool in hot weather Most of us welcome hot weather, but when it's too hot, there are health risks. Here are three ways to keep cool according to the NHS... Keep out of the heat if you can. If you have to go outside, stay in the shade especially between 11am and 3pm, wear sunscreen, a hat and light clothes, and avoid exercise or activity that makes you hotter. Cool yourself down. Have cold food and drinks, avoid alcohol, caffeine and hot drinks, and have a cool shower or put cool water on your skin or clothes. Keep your living space cool. Close windows during the day and open them at night when the temperature outside has gone down. Electric fans can help if the temperature is below 35 degrees. Check the temperature of rooms, especially where people at higher risk live and sleep. The fan then helps to circulate the cooled air, ensuring that the cooling effect isn't limited to just the area directly around the ice. And while this hack have the same effect as an actual AC unit, it can provide a noticeable and refreshing breeze in the immediate area. It is also more cost-effective than running an air conditioning unit. Advertisement However, it is also worth noting that this method can increase the humidity in your room.

I played golf with Tiger Woods but he was a ghost behind the scenes – his romance with Vanessa Trump surprised me
TIGER WOODS was a 'ghost' behind the scenes who never gave any clues about his wild lifestyle, according to a golfer who played with him. Two-time PGA Tour winner Brian Henninger also says he's surprised by Wood's blossoming romance with Vanessa Trump. Advertisement 11 Brian Henninger is shocked by Tiger Woods' new romance Credit: Getty 11 The golf legend is dating Vanessa Trump Credit: Getty 11 Woods went public with their relationship in March Credit: Social media - Refer to source 11 They currently live in southern Florida in Palm Beach Credit: Refer to Caption Henninger played with top stars including Woods, The American says Woods would cut an isolated figure among golfers and was so focused he could be intimidating. But Henninger, who also described Faldo as 'arrogant' and branded Jack Nicklaus a 'narcissist', said this attitude set him apart. Henninger told SunSport: 'Tiger Woods is not a person you're going to go and hang out with. Advertisement READ MORE ON GOLF 'He's not eating with you in the lunchroom. He's pleasant though. He'd say 'Hi Brian'. He knows a little bit about everybody, he does his research. 'I'll never forget the first time I met him. We were at the Western Open, we're in this fitness trailer, they were stretching us or something. 'He goes 'hey, I saw your Trojans got beat by Stanford the other night'. I mean, I've never met him.

I mean, they get to the golf course and they're like different human beings." He added: 'Tiger could be intimidating to some extent. I played with him right at his peak in the early 2000s. 'It's so unique when you're with these people who are so different. They have skill sets beyond what you can kind of comprehend or define.' Woods was rocked by scandal in his prime, divorcing Swedish model Elin Nordegren in 2010 after allegations of multiple affairs. Advertisement 11 Scottie Scheffler is the current world number one Credit: Getty 11 Henninger believes he is the best in the world Credit: Getty Then in 2017, Woods pleaded guilty to reckless driving after he'd been found passed out in his car with prescription drugs and marijuana in his system. Now Woods is dating Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr, son of sitting US President Donald Trump. Advertisement And Henninger says he's surprised by the romance but can see how it unfolded. He said: 'I was surprised to see Tiger dating Vanessa Trump. Even though in today's world, nothing surprises me anymore. 'But he lives in Florida, so I'm sure he's interacting with Donald Trump, who owns a few golf courses down there and stuff. 'Nothing surprises me with Tiger. I just kind of wish I knew. I like the drama, share it with us!' Advertisement Henninger believes In June, Nicklaus candidly told Scheffler not to get carried away with his recent success. 11 He said: 'If he is thinking about being the best and starts believing he's the best, pretty soon he starts scratching his ears out here like this, and that's death. Once you start to get a big head and believe you're too good, then you will get beat.' Advertisement But Henninger could understand the comments. He branded Scheffler and Nicklaus as 'narcissistic', but hailed the trait as something vital for their success. Henninger added: 'Scheffler is different. I almost feel like he's playing for a different purpose, and he seems really balanced with his family, which is really important to him. 'He's made so much money in recent years yet he seems to be doing it for this focus on the process and the competition, not for the money, even though that's the byproduct of playing really well. Advertisement 'They threw him in jail in the middle of a tournament last year, then he came out and shot 65, who does that? 'So he's got the resilience it takes to be number one in the world and takes responsibility for it. 'It takes a narcissistic person and Nicklaus is that person too, by the way, I've spent a little bit of time around him. These guys have big egos.' 11 Henninger has called Jack Nicklaus 'narcissistic' Credit: Getty Advertisement 11 He also labelled Sir Nick Faldo as arrogant Credit: Getty Another golfer who had a big ego was Faldo, Henninger says, who now works as a commentator in golf. Henninger says Faldo was arrogant and recalled a time he demanded changes to his parking space. He said: 'Faldo is one of them, he's from over there (arrogant). He's intense, a lot of us are pretty uptight. Advertisement 'To be honest with you, Greg Norman was super uptight, to the extent you don't really want to be around those people. 'He's one of the greatest players that ever lived. He's a big guy, he was very mechanical, so he had a really pretty swing. It was very methodical. But an example of Faldo's arrogance was when we were playing in the senior players' championship in Philadelphia five or six years ago. 'Because he's close to my last name, like F and H are close, he's parked right next to me and when I pull up early in the week, it says Sir Nick Faldo on his little sign by his car. 'It only took about 24 hours and it said, Sir Nick Faldo. That tells you the whole story." Advertisement
