When I drew the curtains this morning, I saw this:

A few blackbirds were hopping about, bamboozled by the lack of ablutions this morning. Perhaps an albatross landed on it in the night. Or a flock of seagulls. Or, perhaps a dodo bumbled out of the bushes and pushed it with its strong beak.

Felix is saying nothing.

I re-glued and repositioned the top of the birdbath, noting gaps between the saucer and the pedestal. I’ve used a glue which has proved successful in fixing terracotta pots and it seems to be expanding to fill the spaces. The water is not level, but the birds – and insects – may appreciate a deep end and a shallow end.
