The newt's action was totally unexpected and I was in the right place at the right time to capture the action.<br />It is always great to see any birds visit with their youngsters.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-87761324724406450932010-06-04T21:24:51.634+01:002010-06-04T21:24:51.634+01:00Thank you Jan.

I hadn't expected the newt to be interested in fish food but the extra protein will be of benefit.<br /><br />Starlings do seem to be in need of their daily bathe. As you say what is left of the water is filthy.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-66797439040464054042010-06-04T21:22:29.380+01:002010-06-04T21:22:29.380+01:00Thank you Adrian.

The Newt was very impressed with that stick and it was most entertaining to watch it.<br /><br />I always know when the Starlings have been in the birdbath as the water disappears so quickly but the thing that amazes me is just how filthy any leftover water is. Goodness knows how they get quite that dirty! It is never that bad with the other birds :)ShySongbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148381873578585910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-32784242172049196662010-06-04T15:56:00.979+01:002010-06-04T15:56:00.979+01:00one of the best friday at the fliks .
