A pictorial diary of my walks around the parks and wild areas of Leicestershire, and occasionally farther afield.

If you're new to my blog, you might like to have a look at the pictures in the older post as well (click on button at the bottom of the page).

I am also a writer, using the pen-name John Gwynant, and I'll occasionally announce my latest book release on the blog.

Bird Bath 27 August 2013

I have seen many birds of different types having a bath, Tuftys and Mallard are particularly keen on cleanliness. I have even seen Great Crested Grebe having a bit of a dip, but this GC Grebe must have thought he was particularly dirty. He ducked and preened for about ten minutes, shaking the extra water off in between.
