Bathing blackbird

This blackbird decided to hop into the bird bath that has temporarily been put in the vegetable plot. It is filled with leaves but he didn't seem to mind. He does look a bit surprised in this shot. Perhaps he didn't expect to be captured in the bath! Best on black

By the way the other tatty looking bird is a metal one and is part of the design of the birdbath

[SheilaAnne]

every time I have tried to set up a bird bath the dogs drink the water! With Great Danes it's kind of hard to get one tall enough. I really like this shot. I love bird pictures. fav
