RE: Wildlife pond in the making

I put in two one from each side of one of our sheds,both worked well as did the system from the house roof
As the rains started the water levels quickly rose, on the deeper section of the pond 1” rainfall = 6” in the pond & it was soon 18” deep

Why do Wood Pigeons only bath when there is torrential rain??

I may be busy, but I'm Never too busy to listen.
