I think this sequence of a thrush taking a bath can really talk for itself. Taken at Falmer Pond, lunchtime today.

Beautiful set up

Robin, thanks! It looked like a young one and was clearly having fun there.

Words Saturday, September 10, 2011 10:39:57 PM

Darko, yes I think it agrees! smile

Cynthia, thanks. It helps that I often go to the same places so I know all the best spots to look for things. It was the first time I'd seen one of the thrushes go in the water though.

Erwin, thanks!

One thing about birds - they never seem to worry about dipping a toe in cold water. They dive in straight away!

Adele, they sure do. It looks like quite a young thrush and it was very enthusiastic about bathing. Must have been watching all the ducks right
