Ok so this isn't one of my sharpest images, but I do think it is amusing. This blue tit was so energetic that water was flying everywhere, and he wasn't the least bit concerned about the punk look!

What a scruffy little bird! I bet it took him ages to get all his feathers back where they should be. He does seem to be enjoying it though, and you've timed it just right. A lovely shot - made me smile anyway! Smile

A good looking peek into a tit's bath routine, Mike; well done.

Terry.

They do tend to go a bit mad when there's a bath to be had, and this capture is full of energy!

Lovely, his hairstyle reminds me of my own look when I'm having a bath! Smile

Punk blue tit - I like it! Never mind any lack of sharpness, this really has a feeling of energy and movement, and great characater.

It was just determined to make everything as wet as possible! I think we can forgive slight unsharpness - perhaps we can attribute it to a temporary lens aberration!
