Red wattle birds "splash time"

The pics made me smile when I got to viewing them on the big screen.  It was bath time out in the garden, so I rushed to 'the window' for some action shots.  This was 'his' tub ...

1 - 2 - 3 JUMP!

  2. LOL! Those are great shots, Carole! I like how birds always look ticked off when they're all fluffed up!

  4. TexWisGirl - I loved that one too 1-2-3 go!

    Brian: I'm thinking the birds get ticked-off because you've caught them out with a camera when they're not looking their best. They might be thinking you could at least wait till I'm dried off!

thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
