I think my daughter would like to use the gel that starling uses lol. That water is great for your birds, Sheila, I will get some water in my garden one day (year!).
I think I need to get a bird bath too. My next door but one neighbours have one (they got rid of their bird table though!?!!). My tiny pond is in a raised bed and not suitable for the birds.
The stream is one of my best ideas ever.We get so much pleasure from the birds that love it.It more than makes up for all the falling out when digging and making it as well as the problems of leaks etc we have had.As I have said before the stream pumps from my fish pond but the birds,including the pheasants often drink and bathe in the wildlife pond which takes no maintainance apart from removing leaves etc.Just a hole dug,liner,a couple of plants and gravel.Doesnt even have to be of any size really.
For all who have lost.
GODS LENT CHILD by Sue Coad
I'll lend you for a little while a child of mine God said,for you to love thee while he lives and mourn for when he's dead.It may be six or seven years of forty-two or three,but will you,till I call him back,take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you,and should his stay be brief,you'll always have his memories as solace in your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay,since all from earth return,but there are lessons taught below I want this child to learn.
I've looked the whole world over in my search for teachers true,and of all the folk that crowd life's lane I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love and not think the labour vain nor hate me when I come to take this lent child back again.
I fancy that I heard them say "Dear God Thy Will Be Done"For all the joys this child will bring,the risk of grief we'll run.
We will shelter him with tenderness,we'll love him while we may and for all the happiness we've known,we'll ever-grateful stay.
But should the Angels call him much sooner than we'd planned,we will brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand.

Just lovely Sheila and the birds are getting such enjoyment, almost as much as we are!
I love that pic - is he off to the disco later?
That Starling suits that hairstyle !
Hi Sheila.
You can't beat sharing a shower, can you? Nice photo's.
