Friday Feathered Friend

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

Another image from Rosa Marie. This week we feature a starling having a bath.

"A great day for getting out and about, so it was off to Silverstream armed with my hiking boots as I knew the track would be really muddy! I couldn't clap eyes on any kingfishers today but there was plenty of other birdlife, and most of them seemed to be performing ablutions including a fantail (unfortunately he was well hidden when he was bathing so the photo isn't very good!)."
