Birdbath success

The picnic table which was concreted in still needed the sponsor’s sign on so that was the first order of the day. It was advised that drilling small holes and then pop riveting would be the most vandal proof so that was duly done.

With hindsight I could have made the font a little bigger, note to self for next time.

The rest of the day we spent in the arboretum, lots and lots to be cleaned up still after the fire especially with the “weeds” coming up in their thousands.

While doing that the bird bath was visited by quite a large flock of Cape siskins. So good to see it being used after all the weeks of keeping it filled but only sporadically seeing it used.

The new bird hide is taking shape at home, quite a puzzle to make sure that we will manage to use only the covering materials from the burnt one.
