The little floating fountain that drops into almost any bird bath

A compact 12.8 cm floating disc, just 190 g, that sprays up to 55 cm through six nozzles and starts the moment the sun hits it — the neat, unobtrusive way to bring a small bird bath to life.

For a small or shallow bird bath where a bigger disc simply will not fit — a tidy, lightweight fountain that keeps a low profile.

Not every bird bath is a wide stone bowl — plenty are small, shallow dishes where a big fountain disc looks wrong and barely fits. This Senders is made for those. At just 12.8 cm across and 190 g, it is the smallest, lightest fountain we stock, so it drops neatly into a compact basin and keeps a low, tidy profile. Small does not mean feeble: six interchangeable nozzles throw a lively jet up to 55 cm, adjustable down to a gentle bubble when you want to keep the water inside a little basin. There is no battery and nothing to wire — float it on the water and it starts the instant the sun reaches the panel, gently aerating the water as it circulates. A simple, unobtrusive way to bring a small bird bath to life.

About this solar water fountains

Senders Circle Floating Solar Fountain with 6 Nozzles

A lot of bird baths are smaller than the fountain makers seem to assume — a shallow dish on a pedestal, a little ceramic bowl, a saucer set out for the birds. Drop a big 17 cm disc into one of those and it fills the whole surface and looks clumsy. The Senders circle fountain is the small-basin specialist: at 12.8 cm across and just 190 g it is the most compact and lightest fountain in our range, so it sits neatly in a small dish without dominating it or sinking the water level.

Despite its size it still puts on a show. The 1-watt panel drives a jet up to 55 cm at its tallest, and the six interchangeable nozzles let you bring that down to a soft, low bubble that keeps every drop inside a small basin. There is nothing to set up: no battery, no cables, no switch — you float it on the water and it starts the moment the sun reaches the panel, pausing when a cloud crosses and resting at night. As it runs it gently circulates and aerates the water, which keeps a small bird bath fresher and the birds happier. It is the quiet, tidy, inexpensive way to add moving water where space is tight.

Frequently Asked Questions

How small a bird bath will this suit?

It is our most compact fountain at 12.8 cm across and just 190 g, so it fits small, shallow dishes and bowls that a bigger 16–17 cm disc would swamp. As long as the basin is a little wider than the disc and deep enough to keep the pump submerged, it will run.

Will such a small fountain spray high enough to notice?

Yes — up to about 55 cm at its tallest in good sun. The six nozzles are adjustable, so you can keep that lively for show or dial it down to a soft bubble that stays inside a small basin.

Does it need any setup?

None to speak of. There is no battery and no wiring — float it on the water and it starts the moment the sun reaches the panel. It pauses when it clouds over and rests at night.

Does it help keep the water fresh?

It does. As it circulates the water it gently aerates it, which helps keep a small bird bath from going stagnant and makes it more inviting to the birds.

The complete guide

Bringing a small bird bath to life

3 min read Sunspring

A small fountain in a small bath is all about keeping things in proportion. A little care keeps it tidy and lively.

Keep the spray low in a small basin

Fit a lower nozzle so the water bubbles gently and falls straight back in. Save the full 55 cm jet for the sunniest days or a slightly wider bowl where there is room for it to land.

Top the water up often

Small bird baths lose water quickly to spray and evaporation, and the pump must stay submerged to run. A daily top-up in warm weather keeps it playing and the birds visiting.

A quick clean goes a long way

On a fountain this small, a wipe of the panel and a rinse of the filter make a real difference to the spray. Keep both clean and it will keep bubbling away whenever the sun is out.
