Into the water ...

... splash about a bit ...

... duck down ...

... splash some more ...

... splash *lots* more ...

... a few bars of "Nessun Dorma" ...

... shake the water off ...

... preen the left wing ...

... preen the right wing ...

... a final tidy-up ...

... and re-join your mate.

I look forward to this happening to us in a couple of weeks :-)

They've got chicks on the nests as have the terns and lapwings and curlews (and bonxies- they're the ones to watch- they'll 'ave yer)!

Only four days now ...
