Photo series - bathing WOOD SANDPIPER

Another quick trip to Black Hole Marsh this evening yielded views of 2 Wood Sandpipers sticking close together; there'll be some pics of these in due course. Here's some shots of a Wood Sandpiper having a bath which I took a couple of evenings ago. I could tell by the body language that it was contemplating having a bath so I cranked the ISO up on the camera (allows faster shutter speeds) hoping to get some decent splash action. It wasn't great, but this is what I managed:

Stunning birds.
