RobinP's photo of a wood pigeon taking a bath reminded me of this photo I took the other day:  |

Nice one Pete, Blackbirds certainly put everything into it when they bathe! |

Great picture, Pete, very sharp. Look like he's thinking "do you mind?!?"  ! It's really a joy to watch them having a bath, splashing water everywhere.
May I jump in and post 2 pictures of my resident Pepe the Blackbird in his bathtub?  
Not good focus.. it was taken behind the glass and the lens is too short.
That darn house sparrow was waiting for his turn...

Its a strong look.
If I was a Blackbird I'd be rocking the ruffled feathers every day throughout summer. |
