Her First Rain. (Saxicola caprata)

It was only a mild drizzle but the young Pied Bushchat appeared thoroughly perplexed about what was going on .It was so amusing to watch her and I missed the shots of raindrops falling on her head.

This is a superb shot JP. The bird does look a bit confused! but its feathers are doing a good job of shedding water, so it doesn't have anything to worry about :)

Goodness... from that angle, how like Blackbirds they are, though with a shorter tail LOL.

A super picture picture you've taken of this bushchat Jp, many thanks for showing him to us my friend.
