Oh! What a lovely.... bath (Acanthiza pusilla)

I did warn you I might show you a picture of this lovely Brown Thornbill having a bath.

He's really going for it, isn't he. So glad it wasn't the only picture I got, or it would have remained unidentified (and I've a whole load of them in various folders LOL!!!)

Looks like it is having a great time bathing and a great shot of this Thornbill D! If you gave it enough time I'd bet that it would drain that bath girl!
