Title: Mr Robin's morning ablutions
Post by: MrsKP on February 11, 2007, 13:04:26
At least the heat is up a bit this morning.  He was doing this in a virtually frozen bath last weekend.

;D

Fab pics MrsKP funnily enough I was stood watching 2 sparrows having a bath only 5 mins before finding your thread.
They are braver than me, I certainly wouldn't want to bathe outside today :o

Great pics of Mr R.    Its really strange,  I have 3 baths dotted round my garden but never see them taking a bath in them.  Maybe they just to be dirty up here!!!! :o :o

this is the first year i've actually seen robins bathing Carol.  usually it's the sparras, but he's done it a few times now.

He's up there standing proud on the shepherd's crook (which holds the bird feeders) atm.  Standing guard !

Fabulous pics Mrs KP

My robin likes to take a bath now and then but its definitely the sparrows that have the most fun in my bird bath :)

chuffed !  have been digging under the hedge this morning and Mrs R joined in with Mr R to see what I'd unearthed.

Think a Mr Blackbird just took a bit of leftover parsnip away too.

;D

thanks all, they both appear regularly now and have a liking for my home made fat balls.

wish they'd both stay still long enough for me to get them both in frame at the same time.

;D
