Another blackbird in the birdbath!

I had just gone into the kitchen after lunch, when I saw our resident garden blackbird become very annoyed about a rival one in, what he considers at least to be, his own personal birdbath. Photo in link.

He chased him out, and for a little while the rival sat nearby in a bush watching with great effrontery. 
Eventually he realised there was another birdbath close by, and little by little, with lots of flicking his tail and fluttering his wings  whilst chuntering on, he sat in the other birdbath and had a great time splashing away until all the water had practically been dispersed over the side! This particular bath not being quite as deep as the other one.
I tried to get a photo of them both as they were enjoying their simultaneous dips! But it was not possible. 
    At least harmony was restored and feathers were suitably cleaned!
