White-browed Scrubwren bathing

Here are some photos from my another visit to Wilsons Promontory. I really like that place.

I like No5 the best. They almost look like really sharp black &white photos.Great sequence Laurius.

Good work! And there they are, completely out in the open and not a branch, twig or leaf between them and the camera. No fair!

Thanks everyone!

I know what you mean Wendy. These little creatures are often like you say, but even they need to take a bath some times :)

If I'm not mistaken, those white-browed scrub wrens are bathing in tidal pools. Am I correct, Laurius? If so, that's something I was unaware they do. I wonder what they do about the salt encrustation on their feathers.

No, these two are bathing in the camp ground next to the tap, so the water is fresh.

Ah, hah! Thanks for the clarification, Laurius. Those scrub wrens won't have to worry about salt encrustations after all.
