Water............

[JonnyP]

Can I encourage everyone who has a garden, to put out some water for the birds and regulary top it up. A shallow bowl will do the trick.

Probably best on the floor and in an open area, where the birds have a good round view to see if predators are around, so they will feel safer........

Would like to put water out, but the cats would lie in ambush

Thats why it is best to put out some water in an open spot

Consider it done..

We have four containers out year round, a few inches deep with two sloping rocks to use as ramps should anything fall in.

Everything uses it from birds to cats, my uncles dogs to ducks having a little swim! We often find frogs in there too and fortunatley none have ever laid frogspawn in there

Excellent.........I saw a blackbird using a small waterfall on a water feature at work the other day, looked like he had a big grin on his face as he washed and drank...........
