Blackbird enjoying a splash in garden bird bath.

As most of us bask in the glorious sunshine predicted for the weekend, spare a thought for your garden birds.

Birds need water for both drinking and bathing. So with temperatures set to stay warm for most of us this weekend, don't forget to keep your bird baths topped up.

And even if you're having less than great weather, birds still need to bathe and drink every day.

Now is also a good time to give water baths a good clean.

Enjoy your weekend all!
