Excellent photos!

I love the third one! We get lots of tits on the feeder but I've never seen one bathing - no excuse as the bath is only a couple of feet from the feeder! Excellent shots - how did you manage it?

Thanks for the lovely comments everyone, I love the 3rd one :-)) the saucers are just outside the window on the patio I often watch them when I'm having breakfast.

Fantastic photo`s, I get loads of them in the garden, they love the fruit trees, I also have birdbaths and waterfeatures which I`ve never noticed them using, even though they are near the trees and feeders, seeing these lovely pics makes me wonder if perhaps the baths are too deep for them....

third one made me smile too ~ he looks so cross ~ perhaps he is saying ~ "can't someone shut the bathroom door? A chap likes to have a bit of privacy in his bath!"??

Lovely pics. I don't think I've ever seem communal bathing with birds either. Very cute. Yes he does look disgruntled. He is standing there like a major dishing out orders.

Great photos. The birds in my garden ignore the bird bath but use the gutters! (They don't drain properly and are frquently full of water).
