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.
"Turn your garden into a birdwatcher's dream with the Jardin Garden Bird Bath! Made from lightweight, weather-proof plastic with a sleek metallic finish, it's a stylish spot for birds to drink and bathe," the product description reads.
"The Jardin Garden Bird Bath is the perfect addition to your outdoor space, designed to attract wild birds while adding a touch of style.
"Its lightweight yet durable, weather-proof plastic construction ensures it lasts through all seasons, while the elegant metallic effect finish enhances your garden's charm."

Bermuda shorts are surprisingly flattering – if you get the length right
It's safe to say that the prospect of shorts is, for many, unnerving. They can bring up all kinds of conundrums, from how to elegantly bring sun-starved legs out of a prolonged period of hibernation to which length to go for. Luckily, recent catwalks and current collections have been fairly unanimous in their endorsement of one particular style: Bermuda shorts. With a traditionally straight cut and longer length, the style is named after the island on which it is said to have originated. Some say they were conceived by heat-stricken British soldiers taking a pair of scissors to their uniforms, while others claim the inspiration came from local tea shop owner Nathaniel Coxon, who devised them for his staff. Whatever the precise source, they've been all over the catwalks for both men and women at the likes of Burberry, Louis Vuitton, Fendi and Chanel in everything from chalky linen to checked wool. The message has been very much received; John Lewis reports that searches for Bermuda shorts were up 381 per cent on its website in May this year versus the same month in 2024. For men, the interest is likely a welcome break from soaring shorts hemlines – see Alexander Skarsgård appearing on Lorraine in a five-inch pair by S.S. Daley, or Harry Styles stepping out in skimpy Adidas stripes. But while men's micro-shorts enter the mainstream, longer styles remain the most wearable. Look to Uniqlo for a reliable denim option, or Carhartt and Acne for neutral patterned styles. It's a similar case in womenswear. If you're bold enough to don Daisy Dukes, more power to you. If not, there are plenty of fashion-forward alternatives out there. There's linen at & Other Stories, cotton at Cos and even suede iterations at Massimo Dutti. When it comes to denim, 'jorts' (aka knee-length denim shorts) have been an enduring fixture over the last couple of summers; as with jeans, it pays to invest, so look to premium brands for the longest-lasting versions. 'We've had jorts in the collection for a few seasons now, as they are a really great, versatile piece to have in your summer wardrobe,' says Annalisa Dalma, commercial director of Italian denim brand Haikure. 'I particularly love wearing mine with a strappy heel and top on summer evenings but they look equally great worn with flats and a relaxed shirt during the day.' Clearly, this is a trend that doesn't come up short in the style stakes. The best Bermuda shorts to buy now For women For men Shopping by Hansveni Dave

Zara McDermott breaks silence on Sam Thompson and Louis Tomlinson's pitch-side run-in as she insists it is 'non-existent drama' and discusses focusing on 'real relationships'
Zara McDermott has opened up about her split from Sam Thompson for the first time, revealing she's found the 'non-existent drama' around the break-up 'frustrating'. The Love Island star turned presenter, 28, made headlines this year following the end of her and the former I'm A Celeb winner's relationship in January. They'd enjoyed five years together, with much of their romance documented on Made In Chelsea, but Zara swiftly moved on with One Direction star Louis Tomlinson, 33. Zara and her new flame seemed smitten as they enjoyed dates and romantic getaways before Louis and Sam came face-to-face for the first time at Soccer Aid earlier this month. A seemingly awkward interaction ensued, with Louis reportedly blanking Sam following the match at Old Trafford despite holding 'peace talks' at the team hotel earlier. The woman at the centre of the drama was however nowhere to be seen, with Zara now admitting the reaction to her love life has been 'frustrating'. Addressing their pitch-side run-in, Zara told The Sun: 'The only thing in my life worth writing about is the work I do.' The star also revealed that, despite still posting glamorous snaps to her Instagram, she no longer spends much time on social media and is more grounded in her 'relationships'. 'I don't care about social media as much as I used to, or about the aesthetic or the image, I value so much real relationships and real support around me, and being that to other people,' she added. 'I'm a totally different person to the one I was when I was 21 years old and stepped into what appeared to be a glitzy world of showbiz, my day to day life is not at all glitz and glamour.' After Zara's moved on with Louis back in March, Sam also found himself a new love interest a couple of months later. The reality star - who recently completed an incredible five-day trek from London to Manchester - became involved with Love Island beauty Samie Elishi, 25. Sam and Samie first sparked romance rumours when they shared a passionate and steamy smooch outside Olivia Attwood's birthday party in May. But just this week MailOnline exclusively revealed that the couple had called a time on their fling due to conflicting working schedules. Sam's endeavours with charity in recent weeks coupled with Samie's jet setting with brands to countries such as Greece and Spain reportedly meant a relationship for the couple was not feasible. A source told MailOnline: 'Sam and Samie's romance just fizzled out, there was so much attraction between them initially, but their busy schedules made it difficult for them to spend quality time together. 'For Sam, it was his first relationship since his split from Zara and the feeling is he would rather concentrate on work before getting into another long-term commitment.' And Sam seemingly got straight back to work on finding a new romance, with the star spotted on celebrity dating app Raya just hours after the end of his latest romance. Snaps on his profile showed the reality star at Soccer Aid earlier this month, as well as posing alongside famous pals, including best friend Pete Wicks and fellow I'm A Celeb campmate Marvin Humes. The split came just a day or so before Zara and Louis were spotted putting on a loved-up display as they enjoyed a stroll through Glastonbury on Thursday. The pair cut low-key figure as they soaked up the Somerset sun at the iconic event. The split came just a day or so before Zara and Louis were spotted putting on a loved-up display as they enjoyed a stroll through Glastonbury on Thursday Meanwhile Zara, who also sported sunglasses, wore an black adidas top with dark trousers and tied back her long blonde locks in a ponytail. Louis donned a graphic football shirt which he teamed with black cargo trousers and shielded his famous features beneath shades and a baseball cap. It came just hours after Louis was spotted smoking with friends in what was believed to be a lad's only trip and weekend of partying. The pop star later supported Zara, who he was first linked to in March, as she spoke on a panel for charity Refuge, for a talk entitled How to Create Societal Change: Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls. A source told The Sun: 'Zara looked a bit nervous but kept smiling at Louis and he made sure he was in her eyeline and was beaming back at her. 'It was really sweet to watch, they certainly seem very smitten with each other. 'He disappeared just before it ended so he could go back stage and be reunited with her, but it was heartwarming to see him being a dutiful, loved up boyfriend.'
