#314 Why the rush?

2009.11.09
Here I go!

Wow!
It's cold!

Brbrbrbrbrbr...
Refreshing!

Don't enlarge this one, please.
It's out of focus.
:(

[Sitta europaea - Wood Nuthatch. La Herrería Forest, El Escorial - Madrid]

Sorry, no monday flowers today. I didn't find any.
But I captured this lovely wood nuthatch having a quick shower in the hollow of a tree. He was jumping inside the hole again and again as a child in a swimming pool, but in a frenetic way. I took some photos and the nuthatch flew away to a near branch, completely wet and dishevelled!
Where are you going looking like that!?
Why the rush? You should comb a bit!

Ryana Great post Ruth.
If I may be honest, when I read: "Don't enlarge this one, please.
" I immediately did ... sorry ...

jrregaldie Taking a cold shower in such cold weather would make me as frantic as he seems to be ;-)
