• Like us birds tend to enjoy their daily dip, particularly in hot   weather, and so can become distracted and more vulnerable to   predators.

• Place bird baths well above ground out of reach of cats.
• On the ground make sure the bath is well away from ambush cover.
• A stone placed in the bath will provide a handy perch.

• A garden pond can become the focal point of a wildlife garden for   people and birds.
• Provide a branch or stones in the shallows for birds to drink and   bath, and a grassy edge for wild mammals to get easy access to the   water.
