There’s nothing much better than seeing a blackbird take a bath.
Over the past few years I have perfected the art of placing of trays and dishes, and regularly filling them so I maximise all opportunities for seeing the excellent activity: the beautiful choreography, the specific structure and technique of the blackbird’s encounter with water so full of air and feathers.
After the flight away, I like to see the trace, the water scattered.
