Just cleaning up the NAS following the power issues of the other day (it looks as if we've survived the sudden close down of it during its system upgrade, thank fully) and came across this photograph that I took a couple of weeks ago of a Blackbird postrate on the lawn in the summer sun. I think, not sure, it's what they do to cool down?
Wonderful capture... We see (Queensland) the pigeons & magpies in our back garden cooling off this way..
They even dig small holes in the soil to sit in..
