Managed to catch the juvenile magpies (from the kitchen window) having their daily dip 
And somewhere on the hill
Inside the past we hear the bells
Catching only parts of thoughts
And fragments of ourselves
Till we begin

lovely, we enjoy watching birds bathing, mainly blackbirds and sparrows.
My "aah" comes out as a "grrr" unfortunately.
I know what you mean pansyface, but those two juveniles have been great fun to watch this year.
The pond's so tiny, it's more like a plunge pool for them

watching birds especially fledglings are a joy anytime, water makes it more so.
...except that these little b*ggers will grow up to be noisy, messy songbird predators. I'm quite happy - indeed thrilled - to see a sparrowhawk/kestrel/harrier taking an adult bird but I do draw the line at magpies ransacking a nest.
(I'd now duck to avoid the epected flack but I'm off to do some cooking...)
I'm with you Steve 309
Me too Steve, I can't bear to see them fighting over baby birds and ripping them in half. I have to chase them away here.
Got any pics of baby robins Fairy?
Yup - here's Dennis from last year - before the pond was made
I don't care for magpies normally but those two have made me laugh this year. Especially when one slid down the neighbour's garage roof ....

Yay, Dennis!
