SPLISH SPLASH....

... well the forecast eventuated - over 40 degC and a bit humid and skies filled with smoke from the fires! The perfect mix to make sure the water bowls were full for the birds, and the TV working to watch the Aussie cricketers smash our mates from across the ditch (New Zealand) in the test.
We are lucky at present to have a squad of fast bowlers all at the top of their game. 

Anyways, around lunch time caught the action through the window as the bird water was getting a work over by the Blackbirds, with this Bub really making a go of it.
Have a look here on Flickr at a couple of others.

Enjoy and have a look in LARGE and will need to keep the water up to it for a couple of days with the heat staying put.
