Do you have a birdbath in your yard?

If yes,  have you joined the Bathing Bird survey?

All you have to do is record 20 minutes worth of bird watching a few times a week. Good excuse to sit by the window with a cuppa and a timtam

It does haven't to be a flash birdbah, even just a dish of water counts.

You can join here  http://root.ala.org.au/bdrs-core/npansw/home.htm  .

Perhaps we could have a special birdbath photo thread for the event.

Oh wow pimpy, what a spin of an idea! 

I love it and it's given me another thing to do over the next couple of days with my little niece and nephew staying for 3 days from tomorrow. I'll get them to help me register. They'll be thrilled and very keen to get involved.

Thanks for posting this info. You can't help but smile when the birds come in to enjoy their bird bath. ♥

Gorgeous pic Pimpy

My BB is old, had it for years, it's traveled all around Vic with me, the removalist guys love it NOT lol It was just "plonked" there when I first moved here until I found a "perfect" spot for it, which 12 months later, I still havent lol

I think I must have been drunk when I took that pic, it does lean "slightly" lol

ummmm, not sure. I was already registered because I participated in the Great Koala Count.

Perhaps they send a confirmation email before you can sign in.......

I have a couple, one front and back and a terracotta saucer that I keep filled with water... have to keep an eye on them though because of the cats.

I have a cement one we bought in the last drought about 8 years ago. It is still at our humpy in Walgett. Hubby had to put it up on a little table to stop the neighbours goats from getting at it. We had to move our bird feeder for the same reason.

 This photo was taken during the drought

Some bright spark of a bee keeper dropped all his bee boxes off on the stock route near us. He didn't bother to check that the creek had water in it. It didn't. And he didn't leave a contact number with anyone. The only water the poor bees could find was at our place. The dog could drink out of his dish with out getting a mouthful of bees. We had to wait until after dark for shower because the bees were clinging to the shower head and up all the tap spouts. Poor bees. 😞

No birdbaths per se, but.............

They love the waterfall in the front pond, and enjoy the water feature out back.............

I don`t actually have a bird bath but I always leave a large container filled with fresh water for the birds..they enjoy splashing around and it`s great watching them..
