Tui Bath time...

This trough is in our garden and the Tui's have been really busy going from the Cherry Tree to the trough for a drink and then hop onto the little branch in the corner of the trough and have a real splash about then back into the cherry tree to fluff and preen the feathers... and then start all over again .. Spring time is busy in the bird world..
