A European robin bathing during summer in an English garden.It has been an extremely hot year for the UK, compared to the usual temperatures. In our wildlife sanctuary, which is our garden in Berkshire, we make sure to leave plenty of water for our wildlife visitors to cool off and have a drink. In return we are rewarded with beautiful sightings like this one, where the red chested robin is taking a bath in a yellow dish during this year's summer.

Welcome to Our Wildlife Oasis where we have put up several cameras to get footage of our daily visitors. We leave out treats and water for them. Especially on hot days the water is very much appreciated by the wonderful British wildlife that comes into our garden to visit the wildlife pit-stop, the nut-hut, the birdfeeder or the bird-bath. We are lucky to have a big garden in Berkshire in England and we get to see many birds, grey squirrels, foxes and hedgehogs. We try not to feed them too much, sometimes leaving out a few days so they do not get dependent on us, at the end of the day, these are wild creatures and their survival depends on being resourceful and we do not want to give them a false sense of secure food source. The cameras record night and day and I pick the footage and edit it for the final cut.
