Love your bird bath denis. Is it stone? looks it!I love stone garden stuff!I find it fascinating watching the birds bathing, like everyone else, i could watch them all day!

denzil said...

hi karen, yes it's stone, really pleased with it, (not as much as the birds) i think that the last bird bath was too deep so the birds never bathed in it.

I'm wondering if that's why I don't get birds bathing, Denis. I just have a large planter dish thing but it's quite deep. I had starlings and a goldfinch drinking out of it and a starling actually stood in it but no splashing about.

hi steve, the other one was roughly 100mm deep where as the new one is 50mm,

I think my water might be too clean lol. Today I saw a blackbird bathing and later a sparrow drinking from rainwater in a muddy depression where cars had messed up a piece of grass with their tyres.
