Troy, Concrete can cure under water so I don't think it will be a problem... I don't think there is anything in the concrete or the concrete dye that will harm your water since we're talking about such a small quantity. I think I paid $5 or so for the black buckets at our local TruValue Hardware so that tells us that if a local store near you doesn't have them, they can order them... my experience is that it all comes from one or two warehouses anyway. And actually, my local pond store does the same thing using the medium-large size lilly containers. Just fill the whole container if doing it with the much smaller lily containers (versus 5 gal buckets). I guess it go to show you don't need a lot of concrete to make the base. I just used the buckets I used because: A, they were cheaper than the other BLACK containers in my neck of the woods; B, I like the idea of the handle on the buckets (although they are white and I didn't paint or cover'em) for lowering and pulling them about of the water. The other thing I haven't mentioned yet is the dual use of the grey PVC used for the pole. You can use the same setup as a nifty base for a wintertime-used pump or bubbler; because it is a threaded connection not only can you adjust the height of the rod/pole, you can change out the couplers for other fittings. MODIFICATION OF THE BASE FOR A PUMP BASE: Before placing your concrete in the bucket make a small hole in the lower side of the bucket for a barb fitting (this will later attach to a hose coming from a submersible pump). On the other end of the barb fitting inside the bucket (before concrete is added) connect the PVC up with a short straight piece and then an elbow to turn it upward. These can be the more common white PVC since it will eventually be covered with concrete. Then connect the white PVC with the grey PVC; I would suggest using a threaded coupler for this. Then add the wet, dyed concrete mixture. You now have a base with an adjustable PVC pipe to use as a bubbler when you are thru with your netting... but I just make an extra one and keep the pond covered all winter.

Gud on ye mate! I cant be of much help from here in the US. A chum whose Norn Iron sent me a calendar of UK birds. The birds called Robins & Gold Finches in that calendar are nowt the same as American Robins or American Gold Finches. Our Robins are not cavity nesters. Have you a University that does Ornithological research?

Hey, I was at the owl festival in Houston, MN back in February and saw the Eurasian Eagle owl and tawny owl that the World Bird Sanctuary brought. Were you there? I live in the Twin Cities to Missouri is a bit of a drive, but I did enjoy seeing these different owls close to home. I got a few photos at the photo session. Looking forward to checking out your blog, thanks for sharing! Here's Xena, what an appropriate name for such a huge owl! And the tawny owl, I don't remember its name or gender (perhaps you can fill me in, Stephanie.)
