A blackbird in the garden

It is very hot outside: 32 degrees this afternoon! Even this blackbird is gasping for breath.
At first sight we thought he had fainted. Poor thing; he can't take off his black jacket.
But later he was taking a refreshing bath in a bowl of water, so he will be feeling better now.

Great picture. I know our bird bath is being used constantly. I re-fill it three times a day.

Hi Ineke,
Unfortunately many people suffer of the hot temperatures as your poor blackbird . The bowl of water is a great idea .
Have a nice Sunday :-))

Awww, poor bird! I can't believe how warm it is where you are--we aren't that far away and it's probably about 15 out!
