Like most photographers I find the prospect of photographing a bird having a bath appealing, and when it is a whole group of them, even more so. AI was driving through Deal I passed an irresistible sight, a large puddle was attracting a small flock of Starlings down for a bath. It was hardly light, a condition that remained the same all day.
They had to move each time a car came along, but they quickly returned. there's something about a mob of Starlings that seem to be enjoying themselves. All the behavioural zoologists will tell you that it is purely functional and fun and play don't come into it, but watching them I'm not so sure.
