I've almost finished my new pond, and some of the water is in, but it seems that the birds just can't wait for me any longer.
So today I'm going to let the birds do the talking, with these photos I took this morning.
First a Jay appeared on what will be the pond edge. Was it thirsty?
No! The prospect of a quick dip was too enticing, so in it hopped, tail spread, crest erect.
And if you're up to your belly in it, well, you might as well go for it...
But it was the synchronised bathing as its mate came down that impressed me the most!
Nature - you've got to love it!
If you want to drop by my RSPB wildlife gardening blog, it is updated every Friday, and I'd love to see you there - www.rspb.org.uk/community/blogs/hfw
absolutely wonderful great shots I think my garden is to small for a pond.
