Through my Little Slit Window,Blue Tits ,Great Tits and Mistle Thrush Were Seen,One and all Fledged Upon this Self Same Day. It Being The Hotest Day this Year. and Their First Bath Time. Written and Presented by BB

I find only short film shots load on  Blog, so it is no point shooting minutes, minutes and more minutes, because they fail to load wasting loads of my time.                                                                                    


I had sat typing at my desktop PC,a practice of most of my day. Off to one side of this rather odd shuffling place there is a tiny slit window that peeps out into the garden pond area. My camera is always placed near to me as i have much to film,and taking photo shots for my ever expanding hobbies that all need to be downloaded. So grabing my camera i zoomed through the slit window to capture in a few seconds what is seen here. 



 It being very hot my dearest Mrs B,had placed water out for the all the birds that visit us all year round.


We have a call of the wild life friendly garden and one in which no pesticides what so ever are used. What arrives upon the wing are food for all our little friend that fly in for a constant level of delightful feeding and above all the vital water supply mainly due to our large Gold Fish pond that is surrounded by the planting style of huge Shuttlecock and Giant Shieldferns. There are snails and slugs and friendly well fed happy frogs about the place too. and from the woodland beyound our hedgerow the Grey Squirrels visit our garden and to me they are all called delightfully Hammy!  
 

The Blackbird's and Dunnock's fledhged  upon their new found wings so i missed seeing those early birds taking off to their first big adventure, but at least in seconds this bird bath was used in splashing wet spray display. Although the large well fed Mistle Thrush seemed un-amused by all this flitting about but settled for just sitting in the cool water and chilling out.


The wonders lost in a blink of time I quite often miss but gladly not this time. 


The placing of water outside in our courtyard where we live is of welcome  relief for many a dog on their long panting hot walks. So if you can do likewise at the twist of a tap,it certainly is a real kindness. 

Well my friends thanks for stopping by.

May you all have a live long happy safe day. BB
