Thank you for sharing this informative blog post about the attraction of birds to water sources. It's fascinating to learn about how birds rely on water not only for drinking and bathing but also for finding food. I agree that waterpoints can be a great place to observe not only animals but also a variety of bird species.

It's interesting to note that different bird species have different preferences when it comes to water sources. Larger birds like waders, swimmers, and raptors tend to prefer larger stretches of water such as dams and rivers. On the other hand, smaller bird species are more likely to be found around smaller pools, ponds, and puddles. Your suggestion of a natural pan or river pool about the size of a small swimming pool seems like a good median size that can cater to a wide variety of bird species.

I also appreciate the mention of how even a small bird bath can provide endless entertainment in a camp or picnic spot. It's amazing how birds can bring joy and fascination without us even needing to move from our verandah or campsite. Watching their behaviors and interactions can be a delightful way to pass the time.

Thank you again for sharing this insightful post. It has increased my appreciation for the role of water in attracting and supporting the bird kingdom.https://www.tourandsafari.com
