Much needed rain obligingly arrived overnight and I was not surprised to look out on a grey morning, but when I turned around…
Quite a lot of cloud still about, but mostly a nice day. Very buggy(:
After a quick tour of the garden, I retreated inside.
Those bugs bring me up in big itchy welts.
Time is running short today as have an appointment, so I will leave you with some pictures of Starling bath hour:
“Should I take the plunge?”
“Let me think…”
“This feels good!”
“Wah hah!”
“Glub!”
‘Water logged!”
“Now I need another snack!”
“Mum!…”
“I need a lie down after seeing all that!”
The dainty dove decided to warm her wings while the fledglings took off after mother.
Zoomer nipped in quickly for a drink
and a Grackle came to see how many peanuts he could cram in
“Ubb! I think that went down the wrong way.
“Maybe I’ve had enough.”
Brilliant! Just wait, Carolyn, to see how they spread the wings and sit in the sun to dry out!

I can spend hours just communing with the birds at this time of year!
The cloud photos are lovely!
Great to see baby enjoying its bath, Carloyn.
Best wishes, Pete.
I bet the flowers were happy with the rain (they look so vibrant)! That starling enjoying the bath reminds me very much of a little kid in a bath 😄.
They are so cute when they shower 🚿💕💕💕💕
