Goldcrest in mid bathe. The colours on the little pool change by the minute. Too dark by about 3:30 these days though and this little fella comes on the dot about that time.
Usual setup.
Check the biggie.
Cheers

Wonderful! The large water droplets make this for me. One of these came to my new setup yesterday, so here's hoping. No birds have bathed yet though

Oh yes! you just HAVE to check out the biggy.
There is something so trusting in the bird's expression John, fabulous photo.

Love the splash, shame you didn't have more light therefore shutter speed. The crest just grabs you.

Hi Des
Interesting comment about the shutter speed. People tend to like the blur as an indication of movement. Usually its just the head that is still . However with the conditions at the pool I couldn't go any faster with out going to 5.6 or something and the depth would be so small with the 300 at that range.
Glad to see you around again.
