It’s been a particularly dry spell. My containerised plants need water. It’s not helped that it’s also been windy so the soil is drying out quickly. But my main priority has been to take fresh water out for the bird bath,

This is the feature of my tiny garden, the focal point. Today, by chance, I walked out to the kitchen to see a robin splashing, reveling in the water level of the bath. It is a constant necessity to keep the water replenished for my feathered friends. A robin has been a frequent visitor this spring. I imagine that it is the same bird, perhaps that is just my flight of fancy! But he has to take his place alongside sparrows that arrive in great number plus members of the tit family.
