CommentOne of our resident Common Blackbirds, a female, taking a morning bath in our garden water bowl, as they do almost every day, taking great pleasure in the process, sometimes coming back two or three times for more dips. I liked the way she was caught in the morning sun against a vivid green backdrop of orchid fronds.
