I put a small pond in years ago and put fish in it. Only one fish left but he’s a good size now.I have 2 neighbours with ponds and they get a random duck on them,i tempted to build one so i can watch the duck
Just never saw one around Dublin. I’ve seen kestrels hovering by the coast but they’re smaller too.They’re fantastic birds, I love hunting with them.
Emu?
Maybe i'll put a little one in,it's a pain refilling the same bird table every day,any idea of cost?I put a small pond in years ago and put fish in it. Only one fish left but he’s a good size now.
No ducks. It’s only about 5 foot by 2-2.5 foot, but it attracts loads of small birds to drink and bathe daily.
Great to watch them.
No idea what the population in Ireland is looking is like, they have started canalising city’s over here a lot mind.Just never saw one around Dublin. I’ve seen kestrels hovering by the coast but they’re smaller too.
Merlins and Hobby’s must be up there, I’ve never seen one in the wild.I'm no expert on birds, and there must be a twitcher or two on here, so out of the birds listed I'm wondering which are the rarest to be found in British gardens?
I dug it out myself. Just paid for the lining and a small fountain pump. Use it sometimes for the trickling sound of water. No filtration system so just the planting. Oxygenating plants first for the fish. When there’s enough cover add the fish. That’s where I went wrong initially. Not enough cover for them and they feed off the algae so didn’t really need to feed them.Maybe i'll put a little one in,it's a pain refilling the same bird table every day,any idea of cost?
