New birdbath

This is Lovely Louise :) I found the Birds took a little while to get used to My Birdbath so im sure it wont be to long now b4 they take a dip :)

Has it got any water in it ?

Joking apart, You will soon have them swooping in, especially large Pidgeons
using up all the water, Keep topping it up!!!

Thanks Jacque :-))
I hope they come soon :-/

Freesiaperson, yes there's water in it .... oddly enough, the water level 'does' change so something's happening !!!

Owl bath ? ;-))

It's a lovely bird bath. Looks reasonably near the bushes, so not too far out in the open to deter the birds...

LOL Muddy :-))

Thanks TT, yes, it's close to the Escallonia hedge and a lot of the small birds use that for shelter.
Also, there's 'the jungle' close by too, so lots of shrubs and small trees there aswell.

I'msure they while use it once they know where it is..

I love it Louise and I'm sure the birds will once they get used to it, they are always a bit slow to take something new - you wait, once they realise its there for them you will be cursing at having to fill it everyday!

Thanks Busylizzy :-))

Thats nice Louise....

Mmmmm...very elegant...You might find the birds will use it more when the water is a bit more "brackish"....we've noticed they don't like the water too "clean"....

Thanks girls :-)
Alice, i'll make sure i sling some bits in and make it look muddy ;-)

that's a lovely edition to your front garden :)))

Thanks Grindle, i'm really pleased with it :-)
It came from the chocolate GC ..... much cheaper than the 'other' place too, i was surprised at that !!!

I think the other one is making up for lost time :(

I saw some there but they were the stone effect, moulded ones ....not a patch on these.

Chocolate garden centre ? Is it for women only ?

LOL
Grindle used to live near here and she knows this garden centre !
Because we don't want to advertise its name we use the word chocolate instead of its real name, its name and choc go together !
Think of a recent take-over ....... ;-)

Ha ha, Louise I got it but what is the " other place"?

Close to the town of Burnham on Sea, Valadel !

Right-------not sure about that one, ------- however the bird bath is brilliant!

Thanks, i'm chuffed to bits with it :-))

Tee Hee.......The Hot Krafty Gardener ??????

LOL

think you're on the right lines Muddy :))
the 'other one' kills robins :(

That is a very pretty birdbath, could see that in our garden, if it goes missing you know where it will be...lol

LOL Dottydaisy :-)))

Lovely birdbath Louise,

I am afraid mine hasnt been used much yet either.I bought it in the autumn.

I think you may see it on a blog I am drafting eventually.

I will take Alice's tip and make it rather less clean!

Thanks Rm, hopefully our baths will get used soon !

Any visitors yet Louise1 ?

Freesiaperson x

None that i've seen Freesia :-(

Hey! How did I miss this? Yes - like it, and as you say, better than the other one. :-))))

Glad you like it Spritz :-)

It's been used this morning :-))))))))

As i looked out of the window onto it, i must have frightened either the Blackcap or Dunnock because i saw it fly away off it !

I'm pleased it's being used :-)))))

Yippee ! Good news Louise. There will be no stopping them now. :-))

glad they found it :))

Thanks Grindle :-)
It took them a while but they're there now !

Oh, that's good news, Louise! You must be pleased. :-)

Congrats Louise!

I hope mine will be discovered soon Our blackbird prefers an old bucket so far!

LOL, awww, they don't ask for much, do they ? :-)

love it louise, im after one but cant decide which lol

I'm really pleased with this one.
I wasn't too keen on the look or feel of the stone-effect moulded ones, they were dearer than this stone one too !!!

know what you mean, i would rather have a stone one louise, will keep looking :o))
