Work in Progress

Having had a long thunk about my automated twitching I came up with lots of work on this hot Sunny Sunday. I decided to move the waterfall away from the overgrown pond and make a water feature with it. Luckily I had a spare water pump tucked away for a non rainy day.



Reservoir on the left with water and water pump. The water goes through a tube under the waterfall to a water filter. From the filter it is then piped through the imitation barrel and hand pump.

Lots to do yet, when I cool down a bit and get my breath back. The waterfall had lots of old rotting wood underneath for insect homes. Got to move those and fill in the boarding behind the feature. That should give a good still background for the IR movement detector. Finally it will be surrounded by some low log rolls I've had stored away for years. Maybe put a planter in front of it.

One other advantage with this set up - it can be seen from the kitchen window.
