- DIY, social distancing project in the garden for a reflection pool / feeding station for bird photography, #stayathome about 3:30mins and only slightly irritating music :)
Easy to build, temporary pool that you can position anywhere.
Beautiful!!! Unfortunately I can't make a pool like that.
Thanks Giuseppe - I've created a new one which ill get round to doing a video of sometime soon :D
If you can't find a pool, just build one. Genius!
Cheers 😀
Great idea, excellent execution, great finished project. Extremely annoying music.
cheers and just a tad annoying :)
Lovely little setup and great response from the birds!
Cheers :) they love it.. I create new set sup s every few weeks to keep me and them entertained..
Very inspirational.
BTW, you can also use a plastic shoe tray (keeps water from shoes from the floor). It is not as wide. Available at IKEA and probably other shops as well.
Thanks.. and yes anything that holds water -- the longer the better for the better reflections :D
great !
Thank you :D

Thanks for posting this video, definitely one for my to do list 😊.. May I ask where you got the tray from ? Ian.
Thanks for watching Ian ....Got it off ebay ... look up Garlands seed trays , or plastic growbag trays :D
Phazephoto Thanks for the quick response and the information, I will have a look. Keep up the great work 👍
Some great videos and advice quick question which pop up hide do you have as I'm looking to purchase one
Cheers Chris.. was from Amazon.. although not available presently.. www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00BBR9AOI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It's light and easy to use - with built in chair - but showing signs of wear fairly quickly.. does the job though :D
Where did you get your tray?

I had a set up very much like this last year but had to take it apart. It was being over run with rats and they were taking more food then the birds :( I set up pole feeder at the start of this year and that is now also being over run with rats :( How do you sort out that problem :(
Hi Peter - we dont have many rats up here at all - being semi rural - we have the odd field mouse . Essentially I make sure only to put a little feed out in the feeder - not over filling - so its empty by end of day. the reflection pool I move around so never in same place for more than a day or 2 - maybe stop feeding for a week or 2 - so the rats move on to better pickings and not come back for a while. :D
Peter I have a similar problem with my hide that I'd set up in my farm in India. The bird feed attracted too many squirrels and then came the rats. The simple solution I came up with (which has worked so far) is to place the same food, but larger quantities away from the hide and much closer to the route the squirrels and rats take. Its also hidden under fairly thick vegetation which the birds don't like, so the birds come to the reflection pool and the rodents stay at the fringes, happy to gorge themselves. :)
@@ZhayynnJamesPhotography That sounds like a great idea and it's good to know it worked for you. I share a garden with two other households so I just cannot be seen to be feeding and making them welcome in any way :(
On which site did you buy the "garden tray"?
Ebay 😀
@@Phazephoto and "look out spot" ? Incredible your tent. i am Brazilian, don't speak english, sorry. (google translate kkkk)
Where did you get the black tray from I've been looking for something exactly like this?
Thanks for watching ....Got it off ebay Phil.. look up Garlands seed trays , or plastic growbag trays .. :)
Phazephoto Thanks. Great video. I did find one last night on line but not sure on the correct size 👍
@@Pseagust go for longest you can manage - i got 140cm but not really long enough I think :D
@@Phazephoto Thanks. Just found one that might work at Pets & home its a replacement bottom for a dog crate.only £6
@@Pseagust sounds great.. have fun .. :)
It doesn't have to be level.
