Water for your garden birds

I just found this little gem amongst my unread emails (naughty boy !). It’s very obvious when you think about it, but that’s the point – I hadn’t thought about it ! Did you ? It could save you a few frozen trips down the garden path and more importantly, help our birds. Just highlight the following link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjxqKgKufSk&feature=player_embedded&dm_i=449,347O,Q1ZOA,9R4V,1

Hi Joanella, you could try going onto Youtube and typing in the Search box 'Wild Life Skills No.2 - Winter Water for Birds'. Good luck :-)

Yankee candle tea lights are good quality ones, not sure bout the up-turned dustbin lid though. Does anyone have metal bins these days ? I shall try the tea light idea , not only for the birds, also my cat who will drink rain water only.

Thanks Megan75, mine are from M*****sons and only last a couple of hours - which is fine for burning oils indoors - but no good for this. :-)
