Communal bathing !!

Starlings
Further to my thoughts on some species bathing in company - here,s another example from a different one of my pools. When Starlings get going they reall do go at it. This happened every day at three thirty on the dot. No use trying to single birds uot!!

Love all the bathing activity. Were you in one of your hides? I ask because it appears several Starlings are keeping an eye on you.

Thanks Geofrey.
Yes they certainlly know I,m there - especially if you have a lens that isn't internal zoom or focus.
Heres a pic of the hide.

Interesting setting and nice behavior image, Jonny. It might have a magenta or red cast.

Love the action here and the repost fixed the color cast issue. I am bit distracted by the broken branch coming from the edge of RHS.

A nice communal bath scene. Agree that the branch[es] are a tad distracting.
The repost seems a bit on the cooler side. A bit more warmth would do it for me.
Your custom hide looks nice and comfy!

Great looking hide John. Thanks for posting picture.
