With my pond totally ice-bound earlier this week, my visiting Sparrowhawks no longer had their gravelly shallows in which to bathe.
However, clearly desperate for a bathe, this female spotted that the solar fountain in the middle of the frozen pond had spring into life.
Well, this was far too tempting!
I'll let the photos speak for themselves.
Rather her than me!
lovely shots :)
Love it! It always amazes me that our blackbirds in particular, will happily bathe on the coldest days! Great pics.
Brilliant capture, Adrian. Lucky the sun was out to work the solar pump. I enjoy a shower too but not at that temperature.
