I did it!
When I came through this morning, something had been having a bath judging by the amount of water on the window. So I dried it off and waited... and waited.

Various birds came in to feed, but until after 10am there's not enough light for a photo. I was standing at the window when a Dunnock landed on the window sill right in front of me, how tiny and delicate they are. I didn't dare move!

Eventually the Coal Tit came for his bath and returned about 5 times in a quarter of an hour.

So here it is folks, a long awaited picture of it bathing. Just for those who didn't believe me!

Went to Kinnordy this afternoon and got a self-found Scottish rarity - Crane.

That's quite a brilliant little window feeder, bath/watering hole you have. I need to look into something like that. My wife and I would have great sport watching our birds come to it. Great picture of this little Coal Tit bathing. Superb!!!
 
The exposure of this shot is perfect. Details in both Black and White areas, with the eye clearly seen among the Black. Superb!
 
Wow, wow, wow, girl!!! o:) Loads of congrats getting your desired picture... and by now desired by us too!!! ;) I'm so happy for you, Delia, very well done (and the drops in the window add to the feeling of a well liked "bathtube"!!! ;) :t: :clap:
