Not much to say about this one.
Saw about 10 sparrows splashing away in the water on an extremely hot day.
Camera was reading 1/250 @ f5.6, what I really wanted was a fast speed with a good depth of field, because these little creatures move really fast, but this was the best I could do.
I only stood there for about 1 minute, boiling in the sun and took about 120 photos (Good thing about the Alpha, it does 3 frames per second continuously until card is full)...
Ended up selecting this one after speeding through about 40 of them... couldn't really be bothered to look at the rest, they all seem the same, and bird photography is not really my thing.

Bonne et belle capture. Merci pour ce partage.

E hoje andavam lá outra vez! São muito asseadinhos os bicharocos. Gosto do crop e da moldura simples.

Great picture of this group of cute little birds while taking bath.
Nicely captured and well composed.
Sharp, clear, neat image.

Hi simon. What a cute birds! This is very nicely composed photo. Look, everyone of the sparrows are doing something different. This adds naturality to the photo.

Hi Simon, I like the action here with the blurry wings and the flying water. Also the glitter of the light striking the water is interesting. Usually bird photos are not so interesting to me either, but this one is fun!

Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful! I love those tiny birds. They are so charming. Nicely captured. I like the framing, black framing is my favourite one;-)
