10 minutes at the watering hole

With hardly any rain in the past four weeks the birds are making a lot of use of the bird baths and a favourite for the smaller birds is a large shallow sandstone dish, that we have placed on the ground amongst small shrubs. I stood nearby for just on 10min as a steady stream flew in for a bath or a drink. They don't spend much time just a quick splash and then off so I missed a couple of shots and some are not the best.
