Very nice Nick, great to see the juvenile starlings are about. Lovely view of the thrush, not had one in the garden for years.

Looks like they are making the most of it in this sunny weather Nick.

Very entertaining. A much appreciated facility. I don't know how you keep the water so clean as my bathers quickly turn any bath into a muddy puddle.

Even a small pond like this needs regular maintenance although I've only completely cleaned it out a couple of times in the 15 years or so I've had it. I do run a UV light incorporated into the pump & filter which really helps keep the water clear. It's home to a dozen or so Sticklebacks plus the one remaining Silver Rudd that's managed to evade the Heron!

The birds love it though.
