Just a little reminder if you don't have a bird bath (I've managed to smash 2 in a year shock.
I've put a good few terracotta saucers and plant trays around the garden for everyone to have a dip/drink, its easy to forget when you're inside with the curtains drawn against the heat!

Just remember to clean the receptacles and change the water daily. My birdbath is getting plenty of varied visitors we see on the wildlife camera angled to view it. Just wish the pigeons would refrain from pooing in it!

We have an old frying pan , full of water, just on the patio, in the shade. It is used constantly , by the young jackdaws. For drinks and the occasional bath. Noisy things that they are.

We have put a 50cm plastic plant tray on top of our bird bath as it was bigger and deeper. All year round we’re entertained by numerous sparrows and blackbirds have a good ablution.
The pigeons seem to prefer the fountain.
