Built small water feature

[RobAmy]

I built a small water feature on the edge of my pond. I did this hopefully for the hummingbirds. The steam is a little to fast for them. I made a 2" pocket on the top of the stone with a 5/8 hole drilled thru the stone for the 1/2 tube I used for the plumbing. I put a small pump in my skimmer and ran the 1/2 hose from the rock to the pump. I believe it's a 100gph pump but I reduced that a bit. Most likely 80gph. I tilted it just a bit so it drips into the pond a bit, this is so there is a gentle run off for the hummingbirds. it is on the opposite side of the pond that the stream is at.

What a neat idea! I bet when they find it they will love it

That is too cool!

What a great idea! I'm sure you know about plants hummingbirds like, or have feeders.. Tell the big frogs to stay away from that area - lol

Likely to attract more Butterflys than Hummingbirds. Great for both.

Hopefully frogzilla will not find it I get lots of hummingbirds at the feeders and plants, hoping for the water now. Last year I used the hose on spray and one landed on the stone bench we have and loved the bath I was giving it.

I am okay with that too
