The drinking and bathing pool in our little waterfall down to the pond is well sheltered and shaded and ideal for the birds to bathe or drink safely. however it is very poorly lit and I have no position I can get to so that the sun is behind me, nevertheless it makes fascinating watch for the comfort of the lounge through the open doors. Here are a few of the birds I watched during an hour or so today.
Male Blackcap
Goldfinches
Great Tit
young Greenfinch
young House Sparrow
Starling
female Blackcap
Blue Tit
Chiffchaff and Dunnock, note the Chiffchaff is ringed.
female Blackbird
Male Blackcap, returned or another one.
Dunnock
female Chaffinch
male Chaffinch

What a delightful asset to the garden that waterfall is and the photos looked OK to me. I have a largish pond with shallow edges and yet few of the local birds seem to use it for bathing.
