sandeyeYard Bird Update 80- bird bath duets
November 29th 2011 17:23
An interesting observance occurred yesterday. I was in the kitchen, as I often am, and glanced out the window to the stone bird bath. I spotted the little robin taking a bath - the one with high orangey markings. This was nothing unusual, until a blue-tit perched on the bird bath and also took a bath at the same time.
This is fairly uinusual, as generally when one bird lands, the other takes flight - or the one already there chases the newcomer away. The next time I glanced up, the robin was leaving, the blue-tit bathing, and what should I spot but a blackcap landing and taking a bath - right next to the blue-tit.
The next time I glanced up, the blackcap was sharing the bath with a sparrow. I have honestly never seen so much multiracial bathing going on in dad's yard.
