Living with Birds Bird Baths Water

Evoking the sea’s natural treasures.

Offer birds fresh water all year round in this unique seashell bath. Beachcomber’s raised terracotta ridges offer a steady foothold for birds and other creatures to bathe at their preferred depth. It’s fired in frost-resistant glazed ceramic with an azure glaze, and includes a low stand to raise the bath off the ground slightly. Includes 10 year manufacturer’s guarantee.

Sheer garden poetry, blending practicality with literary appeal.

This elegant ceramic birdbath features a rippled step profile that lets birds perch at a comfortable depth as they bathe or drink, while allowing insects to escape. The rich green glazed finish is accented with an evocative quote from the poet William Blake that’s inscribed on the rim: “To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wildflower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour”.

It's suprising how few gardens have a birdbath. And even if you've got a pond, the chances are it's not suitable for visiting birds that favour a shallow water source without steep sides.

It's important to offer fresh water for garden birds all year round. And that's why we're excited about Birdbath Raft - a clever new idea that makes it brilliantly easy to offer an attractive drinking and bathing station this summer.

The special shape of Birdbath Raft transforms any garden pot, barrel or pond into the perfect birdbath, providing a sure foothold and the perfect depth of water. Durable, easy to clean and great value, Birdbath Raft creates an instant water feature in any sized garden.

The best things improve with age.

Create a natural oasis for drinking and bathing with this water bath that’s ideal for lawns, flowerbeds or patios. Textured surface detailing gives birds a sure grip at any depth. Forged in wrought iron that weathers gracefully.

This impressive bath looks as authentic as natural stone.

This traditionally styled birdbath is made in Clayplas, a remarkably tough but light blend of recycled plastic and clay. The resulting composite mimics a naturally aged stone finish: raised scrollwork decoration around the edge contrasts with the glossy surfaced water bowl. Coniston is supplied as standard with a low push-fit base. Available separately, an optional column raises the birdbath to create an imposing centrepiece in your garden. 

Each one’s a unique artistic statement. Equally suited to offering water or food – try seeds, mealworms or I Love Robins – these dishes are crafted by hand, making imaginative use of recycled oil drums and reclaimed metal. They’re Fair Trade, providing income for artists and their families living in the Zimbabwean capital Harare. Place on the grass or brighten bird tables, patios and decking. They’re as practical as they are artistic: let the metal surface weather naturally outside, or occasionally renew the glossy lacquered coating with boat varnish.
