Double trouble and an unobtrusive DIY birdbath

Bold little cub brought his / her sibling near the house this morning for an explore.
Rather pleased with new birdbath, see pic, made from a gently rusted dish drainer set on its side and a black lid I had hanging around. See below. Can put it straight onto the garden bed as it doesn't have a solid
large base, easily moved about but stable. Daily visitor for a drink is a slim, white feral pigeon with some grey marking so it looks like it's wearing a shoulder shrug. Tres elegante. (not Tree elephant as autocorrect would have it).

My neighbour has old pots and pans dotted all around the garden for foxes etc. plus numerous bird baths.
I have a waterfall made of slate in my fish pond. the slates are not fixed and without fail every spring I find one or more of the slates at the bottom of the pond due to the cubs playing on it. I imagine the cubs get quite a surprise when they end up in the pond!
