Up from the bath (Turdus pilaris)

The Fieldfares had no concerns for dignity. They really got into it with loads of splashing and totally soaked plumage. Here's one just up from a spash. The water really brings out their colours.

Now to check if the rice is done for dinner. Then back to browsing after we eat.

A brilliant image of this thoroughly drenched bird Ann. In Britain we think of them as winter visitors of course, and its interesting to see one in its summer quarters. Keeping clean from parasites is a serious business, but its hard not to anthropomorphise and see a bird just enjoying itself!
