    Nice video Chocky, they are a lot of fun to watch. We had several sparrows the other week, all bathing at the same time, it was really great to see them enjoying themselves.

    I find it very amusing becaus it's like a communal Jacuzzi where all the little birds congregate. One day there were two song thrushes, a gold finch and a wagtail. Mind you it was very cute to watch.
