That was about as much as we had this year, so Titch decided to go for a bath
As only a bird can he really enjoyed his bath today,
I took a fair number stood outside watching him from about 5yards away
Need to give myself a good ducking and maybe attract a female
OK I'll get out now
Oooh that was a little deep
I had to drag him out honestly - you know what these boys are like, takes an age to get them in then they won't leave the water:-)
Nice bit of sunshine to dry off the feathers
Bit of preening
Well no female robin but this little BT will do
Now I need feeding after all that exercise
Not too many I hope,
but he is lovely:-)
Lot to learn
He is lovely indeed Gaynor, went a little deep in one of the last photos! Hopefully it will not be too much longer before he finds himself a mate. Lovely selection.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Lovely shots, Gaynor. He's looking very smart after his bath.

Thanks Catlady, no sign of a female yet, but maybe there is still time.
Paul I enjoyed seeing him plunging in the cold water today, Robins and Blackbirds always seem to have such a thorough wash.
It's always fun to watch a bird dunk itself - they're so enthusiastic about it.

That looked more like a swim than a bath! Robins do love water don't they? Hopefully there's a Mrs Titch nearby.

lol Gaynor, what a little character Titch is and love the photos of him enjoying his water bathing.
