The intimate moments I am privileged to witness in my garden are always humbling. These moments usually highlight how vulnerable birds are. They are continually alert, keeping an eye out for danger, even when taking a bath.
Viewing the front garden from inside the cottage means that I can observe without intruding.
I hadn't realised that the bronzewings used the top tier of the pond for bathing.
There are two pairs of bronzewings who favour dwelling in the front garden, it's smaller and very shady. And it was one of the pairs who I watched taking turns to soak in the cooling water on a very hot afternoon...
