    That first shot is particularly good, Beryl!

    Looks as if the rain has affected their feathers.

    Not surprising, if you had anything like the downpour we had here!

    Yes we did later.
    These little bird had just had a lovely bath in a large puddle in the entrance of the boat yard and were drying off and preening . Great fun to watch
    They often have a human ordinance it's so cute to watch. Probably the same ones on the Video
    One of my neighbors goes along specially to watch. It is such a lovely site to watch. I missed them today and caught them preening

    Here is the male fresh out of the puddle

    Couldn't agree more
    But I think Blue Jay is referring to the people who think it funny to make jokes and ruin a thread
