If you can't beat them...

Bathtime

After having sorted Clickychick out at the village hall i.e. made sure the computer was talking to then projector, I was standing doing the washing up.  (Our repairer is having difficulty sourcing a new hose for emptying the dishwasher.)  I noticed some movement at the bird bath.  I ran to the living room for the camera.  You have guessed it ........  Wrong lens!  Change lens.  Battery flat......  Change battery!

Fortunately by the time I had done this the Robin was still happily splashing away.  We have two bird baths, this iron one, surplus to Kat's needs and a pukka RSPB one.  The RSPB one occasionally has a Woodpigeon paddling/standing in it and birds drink from it but i have never seen one bath.  This one much smaller and with a little statue on the side does get birds bathing in it.  As they say "there's nowt se queer as folk birds."  (Apologies to whoever first coined the phrase).
