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.

My hack to keeping cool this weekend without fancy aircon works so well, it makes a room a little too cold
THERE'S nothing more frustrating than trying to fall asleep in a hot and stuffy room. However, a simple hack may be able to help, keeping you cool throughout the hot weekend around the corner. 2 Brits are set to enjoy glorious weather this weekend - but it's a nightmare if you don't have aircon Credit: Getty 2 The mum later chuckled that the hack worked so well, she was feeling a little too cold Credit: tiktok/@lucascraftyco Since the majority of UK households don't have air conditioning, millions of people resort to using fans or other gadgets in the warm weather. However, fans only help to cool down your body temperature, and not the stuffy temperature of the room. So if you're looking to elevate this and feeling an instant cooling effect, a simple step can help. One mum, only known as @lucascraftyco, recently shared a handy hack for creating a DIY air conditioner in your home - and chances are, you already have all the necessary items. 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. According to the TikTok video, the hack is so effective it even works a little too well, the mum chuckled. ''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. 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. However, it is also worth noting that this method can increase the humidity in your room. Stay cool this summer And a doctor has revealed the exact time to shower to keep cool in the hot weather. Plus, six methods for keeping cool in the hot summer conditions, including repurposing your hot water bottle. Or there are savvy steps you can take to keep your space cool without breaking the budget.
