Mum I think I'm a bit big now for this baby bath!!!

Spotted this baby magpie having a drink in a plant pot base which was full of water and then he decided to sit in it. Doesn't quite fit somehow!

lovely photo Babs

[Deb]

Great shot and perfect caption. I remember bathing will in a baby bath when he was 2 and decided he hated the bath plug!!!

[Deb]

Oh and do you remember the frog!!!! Hahaha

[Paula W]

Perhaps he thinks he's a duck! Love this shot and your title Babs. I think we have noted before your magpies look very different to ours.

[Babs]

@gerry Thanks Gerry.

[alia_801]

Hehe! What a fun way to keep cool!

[Jo]

Was it a warm day? How cute:)) These babies are so fun to watch.

[Rachel]

How funny. Well spotted. I love it :-)

[Ian]

Haha, great capture, he's big for a magpie !

[Karen Dex]

That is a great shot. Love it

[Laurie F]

too cute... great shot

@gypsy6 I remember bathing you in the big white sink at Luffenham when you were about 3 because you didn't want to be in the big bath.

[Babs]

@paulaw I couldn't remember what English magpies looked like so I Googled it, they are a lot different aren't they. Of course this one is a juvenile and hasn't got his full black and white feathers yet. Still the same size as an adult maggie though.

[Babs]

@alia_801 It is still winter here so it isn't particularly hot, about 21 degrees c.

[Babs]

@joluise Warm for winter, about 21 degrees today.

[Babs]

@tryingforsighs Thanks Rachel. Maggie's are hilarious to watch.

[Babs]

@streats How big are UK maggie's. I can't remember. The dish he is sitting in would be about 25 cm (10 inches) I suppose and he is about the same size as an adult magpie, just not got the full b&w feathers yet.

[Babs]

@dekky740 @lafish Thanks. His mother probably told him he needed a bath, but when he got in it he wasn't sure what to do!!!

[Esther]

Gorgeous shot Babs So cute :)

[Angela]

Great title!

[Derek Vickers]

Great title Babs. Nice close up.

[Joey]

Great find and lovely capture

[Babs]

@estherhelen @angelar @derekvickers @joeyc Thanks. I don't think he was the brightest one in the family, because he just sat there in the water.

[Judy]

I had to look up Magpie as I didn't think this was a baby. In Australia this is a baby! Great pic!

[Scott]

Well spotted and captured!!!

[Sharon]

Nice capture!

[Raye]

Too cute! Great shot!

[Babs]

@sbolden @goosemanning @sunraye Thanks. I don't think he was the brightest bird because he just sat there instead of bathing himself!!

[Babs]

@judy365projectorg Yes baby magpies are the same size as their parents, they just don't get their adult feathers for about 12 months I believe.

@onewing Hehe - if he's needing to cool off now, he's not going to like summer much! :)
