My last post was mega-long so here’s a short one.
I was up at 6.46am. I like figures like that. I logged into myLot then noticed dozens of little birds all lining up for baths. Some were up for communal bathing but a little robin stood back a bit. I wish I had zoomed a little closer but maybe next time.
The photo is from a previous bathing frenzy.

@amitkokiladitya The lockdown hasn't made any difference to them. They are always carefree.

@Jessicalynnt Birds are notoriously hard to photograph, The birdbath is good in that respect as individual birds sit and drink or bathe and with a bit of luck you can get a photo. Did you know there is a website called 'Crap Bird Photography' People put up their terrible bird photos. Some of the comments are hilarious - very clever.

I like reading these kinds of stories of birds going to take a bath.

Did they bring a glass of ice tea with them too?
I have a birdbath, but I don't fill it. Maybe I will now. I have never seen a bird in it, as there are so many water sources around here.

@snowy22315 Water is harder to find over here. For about the last week we have had butcher birds turning up regularly for a drink and a bath.

@arunima25 The robins like to sit and soak their feet but most other birds are in and out very quickly.

Thanks. They are so small I wonder how they manage to survive in storms, etc.

They were in and out, in and out then suddenly they all left and you'd never have known they'd been there.

They just about empty the bath when they all get in.
