Happy Monday everybody!
Its been a glorious weekend so I thought we would combine a couple of topics we have done before. I got inspired after I let my chickens out onto the grass this morning and my bantam australorp girl sprawled herself out in the sunshine immediately. So share your photos of birds enjoying the sun or having a lovely snooze - maybe both!

Love the "Sunshade" Rick.

Hah! That sunshade pic is a classic. Just too appropriate a placement, really. Love it.
Lots of great pics this time around!
And thanks for the kestrel compliments - they're pretty easy to catch while they're making a sluggish start to their day, as opposed to soaring high out of sight.
