All stand Clear when Pelly takes a bath.
To get the water up they hit the surface hard with
their wings. Oil on their feathers makes it impossible for them to submerge their bodies. They pop up immediately.
The jets of water and the noise make other birds
keep well clear.

Canon EOS 20D

Action galore here. This study of bird life really appeals to me because of the splash droplets, the bird positions and the obvious animation.
