Shikra take a bath
Have you ever seen a Shikra taking a bath?About 10 minutes I saw one sitting in a smal pool between bushes ,doing nothing than resting.I watched him from a little hide in the Senegambia hotel garden,but I couldn't manage a good photo because the pool is in a thicket and shadow with less light through leaves which hinder me in taking a free shot..I guess it is an unusually behaviour,isn'it?

The rehab Sparrowhawks I had when younger would bath every day if given the oportunity. I've known falconer's birds fly off and bath rather than fly something if they haven't bathed that day! saluki |

Thanks saluki for your answer and your examples.I never saw it before but I am not an expert in raptors.
