Might be the smell of fresh water or the splashing sounds that triggered it. But now that it knows, you’ll have a regular visitor! I have a couple of magpies that visit my bird bath. One of them only ever drinks, the other one likes to get in and splash around. Only worry I have is the water heats up a lot on hot days, so I try to go change it out in the afternoons if it’s a hot day.
