This is an American Robin who loves taking dips in the birdbath. He has established an almost daily bathing ritual, and is quite fun to watch.
Here he was this morning, back for his usual bath. I hope you enjoy the photos!

Excellent shots! (I’m envious. 😉
Best of luck to you in the “Movement” photo challenge!
I wonder if miss Robin knows that she is being photographed while taking a bath. Great series of shots. Well done.
I love your photos. Growing up I was told annually that when you saw your first robin it was spring. Seeing your photos was such a reminder to loosen my grip, to start breathing normally again, to start and to relax and enjoy life.
Very nice series of photos.
I know what you mean about watching birds taking a bath. I could watch them for hours. I’ve even caught some having a dust bath (which actually looks really weird).
The last photo is particularly lovely. I’ve never seen a Robin with that colour breast before.
We only get the English Robins here in Australia (that were brought out by the first settlers in the 1800s – they are not an indigenous bird).
Great series of photos! I see them bathe just about every day in the summer and always enjoy watching them. Other birds use the bath too, but the Robins seem to enjoy it more.
hehe … refreshing! Love the second and fourth shots … he looks happy!
Wonderful series of photos. That little bird has attitude! Look at his face. 🙂
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!

your comment in the intro – thank you for all your continuing feedbacks, my English teacher!
Awwww…now that is so adorable! Stunning shots Fergie. I can see he truly enjoyed himself. Thanks for sharing. 🙂 *hugs*
First, I thought there are three crafted birds in the birdbath, But then, … 🙂
Wonderful capture! Have a nice week. Uta
I love how you’ve captured his bathing ritual, how lucky to have him visit!
Looks very refreshing!! 😀
Water, it brings out the fun in living things. Great shots Fergie!!
Nice shots – I’m working on birdscaping my garden – trying to find a place to put a bird bath so that I can photograph it!
Cheers and thanks for linking to WBW

Wow … some show you gives us here – stunning photos and a cute bird – that like his SPA. Brilliant gallery. Just love the splashing shots … your know how to take action.
Oh these photographs are just amazing! One of my favourite things is watching birds bathing! This sequence of photos is just brilliant! I particularly love the ones where we can just see frantic splashing and not much Robin! How he/she must have been enjoying it! And the very last one a picture of refreshed relaxation 🙂 – wonderful.
Fantastic series, love to watch the birdies bathing.
Guau!!!! So great!!!! My congratulations for this serie of pictures!!! They are delicious!
What an amazing series Fergie! I feel like I have had a refreshing dip myself 😀
A bird enjoying it’s bath is always fun to watch. Great shots.

Great sequence!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Oh my! How lovely and precious. Your photos made me smile. Hats off to you for following the movements of the robin. I am sure you were way amused by him. 🙂
Yes, I did enjoy this and obviously so did this delightful robin.Thanks for the capture.

Oh, what a great feeling it must have been, for the robin …and YOU!!!
Exceptional shots my dear Fergie!

I just love that last shot!! What a fun sequence.
Visiting from Texture Tuesday.
…at first photo viewing, I thought it was part of the bird bath. Seriously.
But, then, scrolling down, what a GREAT series of action shots. [scroll again really quickly and it’s almost animated!!]
It’s fabulous sequence of the bath You are very special!
Splish, splash Robins taking a bath…
This is so wonderful! Wonderfully captured too. In the first picture I assumed he was a clay bird – well your fine gallery soon put me out of that …
Very funny – he looks almost fake!!! Good post.
Wonderful series… Michelle
Seriously FM, this is beyond adorable. Great captures my friend. Margie
Such a cute sequence.
we all are “gullible
when it comes to our charming feathered visitors
and their methods of getting our attention…”
Wonderful photos of the bathing robin!

What a great series! So rarely do we get to see it “slowed down” like this.
Excellent series of shots! He’s adorable and you’ve captured his enjoyment perfectly.

He’s a character!
What a fantastic series of pictures! I think robins splash all the water out of the birdbath 🙂
I don’t know how I missed your photo’s for this challenge – I love them!!! Such perfect shots!

Were you smiling from ear to ear when you were photographing these??!! 😀 I sure was!!! Love it. Look at his happy face!
These are award-winning shots, Fergie! I love to watch the birds bathing – they live so in the moment of the activity! XO
