Garden Reflection Pool - Lockdown Project
Garden Reflection Pool - Lockdown Project
Since we've been locked down indoors at the weekends recently I thought it would be a good time to build myself a reflection pool in the garden. These are the results so far...

Love these. Can you show us the pool you built too?

Stunningly delightful. Work has paid off.
Re: Garden Reflection Pool - Lockdown Project
What a great idea, wish i'd thought of it 10 weeks ago! Great results too.
Re: Garden Reflection Pool - Lockdown Project
Thanks for the comments everyone.
Here's the pool. It's pretty crude, just knocked up from some CLS and other off-cuts I had in the garage, with black plastic to line it. Needs a clean out now. Oh and I think the grass might need cutting again!
The camera's on a tripod in the conservatory, and most of the photos here were taken with a remote.

Here's the latest from the reflection pool - a robin and a blue tit enjoying the pool together...

Re: Garden Reflection Pool - Lockdown Project
What a good idea and very effective, did you sit outside waiting or set the camera up and use a trigger release to get them ?
I know you think you understood what I said, but I'm not sure you realise that what I said is not what I meant.
Re: Garden Reflection Pool - Lockdown Project
Thanks. Mostly they were taken remotely, with the camera on a tripod in the conservatory. Lately I've been trying being more hands on with the camera to get some perched photos on strategically placed branches...

A massive crop but here's a wasp enjoying a drink at the pool...

Erithaca rubikscuba and Cyanistes squareruleus if I'm not mistaken. Unusual capture to get both together, migrants from Denmark perhaps?

You've got to be pulling my leg-o
Re: Garden Reflection Pool - Lockdown Project
To me they both look quite scared of the water. In fact I think they're bricking it.
