Water for birds in winter

Posted on January 20th, 2009 in Water for Birds by Trish

When it is cold and freezing birds still need water.

Often, of course, any water in the garden is frozen in winter,

I had this problem today when the pond was frozen and snowed over

I searched and searched and in the end I found this – it has proved successful today

I was sent this by someone who works on an oilrig.  Good isn’t it.

This is a really good bird feeder – it usually keeps the large birds out.

I took this photo last year.  I got so close to the thrush and it stayed perched in the hedge.
