Once again the bird bath is the centre  of attraction in the garden. Today it played host to a sweet little bird & her friend. I love this shot. These little blackcaps had a lovely time splashing in the bath!  I had the water level quite high so at times the birds disappeared from sight. Perhaps they shared the bath time, keeping an eye out for predators to ensure their mutual safety.

They were a complete joy to watch. We don’t often see them in the garden, certainly not at this time of year. Whilst in the garden one of them decided to taste the berberis berries that are on offer right now. Being small they were able to work their way through the shrub in a more agile way than the blackbird has achieved!
