    Just at the start of our walk today in a shady area on the path, I saw what looked like a leaf float down to a muddy puddle, then it moved! It was a tiny bird flitting from the puddle to the bushes. With no chance to adjust camera settings properly, I got some shots of what turned out to be a Firecrest having a bath in a mosquito infested muddy puddle ! Sooo cute, so sorry for the spam 🙂
    3/3

    A Firecrest taking a bath in a muddy puddle. Look at how small it is compared to the mosquitos on the surface.
