Big Garden BirdWatch Preparations 2021

Honeybees are also frequent visitors to birdbaths, as they need water to regulate the temperatures within the bee colony on hot summer days.

So the bears decided to make a nice new bird bath for the birds in their garden. They found a large plastic saucer - the kind you put under plant pots. It was reasonably shallow, with sloping sides and quite wide. They were going to just lay it directly on the lawn, but then decided that it might be better slightly off the ground.

So they found 2 plant pots (one slightly smaller than the other), and used them on top of one another, to make a column on which they placed the saucer. They made sure it was very secure - they didn't want a tiny wren landing on the edge and tipping it over!
