One variation of our usual walking route takes us to a relatively "unsettled" area of our village. There, one of the residents put out this concrete bowl (usually used in gardening/landscaping) to provide water to the abundant wildlife in the area. These include many types of birds including kingfishers, owls, rails (tikling), crows and sparrows (maya). There are also small mammals like squirrels, rats, mice, and of course, cats and dogs.

This and others like it in other homes provide much coveted water during the dry season. We also have couple of smaller ones in our garden that we see birds go to for water. Of course, we also have several bowls of water for our dogs. Some of these bowls are conveniently located where other animals can access them while the dogs are away or sleeping. These though are not for cats and rats, which our dogs have discouraged from sharing their water.
