Bathing in the big pond

Bathing in the big pond (Turdus pilaris)

That day the gardener working on the new water lily pond had drained it to install some sort of liner around the pump, so any little birds that wanted to bathe had to find a quiet, shallow corner of the big pond. Next time I was at the park, the pond had been refilled. Last ime I was there, only the flagstones around the edges remained to be finished ... and planting the water lilies.
