Another bird I,m affraid , but thats mainly what I do.
Had a pair of these at pool 2 in the field.
Really comical birds when bathing. This one is drying off whilst the mate had a go.

Thanks Karen
There have been comments lately that the forum is a little bird heavy. If you look at the last page - it probably is !
As far as I am concerned as I say thats what I do- unless something else presents itself before me

Cheers

LOL, nothing funnier to me than a wet bird!
Excellent image - great pose, nice perch and the comical factor too.
First rate!

Hi John

Super image, great pose - you wonder how they manage to fly when they get this wet.

It's absolutely drenched!

Not a fan of square crop but this one suits it I think.
