Water for our Garden Critters

I have placed two large plastic bowls that usually fit under 12 inch wide pots filled with water on the lawn far enough away from the hedges....cats !!
I saw an enormous fat Wood Pigeon sitting in one of them with its feathers all puffed up looking very pleased with itself. In the other bowl 3 sparrows were having a bath !!
Im sure you are all helping in this way but this is the first time I have supported them.
Saw a skinny fox and a hedge hog walking up my road this morning when I got up at 4.00 am to use the loo.

On the note of plastic bowl, I keep two terracotta bowls, aim to refill every morning.
I thought terracotta has small pores which naturally helps evaporation and keep the water cool for our friends...
@Newboy2, this thing, called social prescribing, I happen to believe is catching hold.
This generation will be badly judged by the next one.
They have not been so lucky as to have gardens themselves (well number two now has) and have been glad to bring my grandsons to help cut and pull food from the vine and ground. Not everyone has that opportunity - should I be banished to Curmudgeon's Corner?
OK, rant nearly over - when food is pre-packed, prepared, relatively cheap and available all year round where is the incentive to grow your own? OK I'm done now.
I could write pages on this subject but....
Its time for my chamomile tea and a lie down
Wasn't the year 1953 kind of inevitable?
