It has been so hot and dry lately. I didn't feel like driving through any traffic or going too far. I was contemplating where I could go and get some wildlife images when the thought occurred that a lot of birds have to drink frequently. I thought I would go and wait by the water trough on the top of the hill. There is not much opportunity to get a drink anywhere else in quite a large area.

It proved to be an enjoyable hour. I think though that the main visitors will always be the seed eaters:
Linnet, Goldfinch and Yellow Hammer. They seem to have to fill up most regularly with a fresh drink.
