WildLands Defense @WLDdefense • 1h S 354 Cattle water troughs on BLM & USGS grazing allotments drown untold numbers of birds, bats, insects, small mammals. They're supposed to have "escape" ladders but these are often missing or poorly designed or slimed up with algae. FarmerDave @BestBritishBeef • 1d To all livestock farmers, particularly during this hot time, please remember to safeguard Barn Owls from drowning in your troughs! I put concrete blocks in mine! @BarnOwlTrust @SomersetLive

I was given the opportunity to write for SomersetLive during my work placement because I'm ordinarily from that county. Due to the nice weather we were having, I had the idea to write a list of the top pubs and bars in Somerset with a beer garden so that people could enjoy the sun with their drink
Somerset’s best pubs and bars with beer gardens to soak up the sun
Here are the top Tripadvisor rated pubs with outdoor seating so you can take in the rays with a nice pint in hand. This list has been reviewed so pubs with a very small outdoor space were cut. Attention all Britons! The sun is out and well you know what our weather is like, so let’s enjoy it while it lasts, especially here in Somerset.
