Splish,splash,I was takin' a bath.
Our little pond is quite popular with the birds that visit our garden. These two Dunnocks were happy hopping around the edge taking a drink now and again and the taking a bath resting on the lily pads. They've had a good year and there have been several babies at varying times.
It's name comes from the ancient British dunnakos meaning 'little brown one'. It is also called a hedge sparrow spending most of its time feeding on insects and seeds on the ground.
The sun has been disappearing under clouds all day and the wind has picked up.Think it must have been a challenging game of golf at the Scottish Open.Good news as the Open is set to return until 2017 !
