After a few months of trailing the new pool, we have had an increase in visits from the Tawny Owl during the night and a decrease in the woodland birds during the day, i wasnt sure why the woodland birds were not visiting as often until i collected my memory card, as you can see the female and male Sparrowhawk are now frequent visitors, they both love getting bathed.
We originally had a pool outside the woodland at ground level but rarely got any predators, im guessing they both prefer the cover of the trees. The only downside to building the pool in a pine woodland especially this time of the year is the carpet of needles dumped, hopefully theyll all drop off soon.
