Female finch fun

It was an ordinary day in the garden, but ordinary is also special. Female finch making portrait taking almost impossible. Twigs in the way.
 

Across the path young female finch took a bath in a soup dish. Ever hear of a bad hair day? Hot, humid, delightful bath.  Whats a mess!  No attempt to preen or clean wet feathers.

There's a fungus growing in a nearby knot hole. It must be rotting, because blow flies have arrived. The ordinary surprises in the garden are terrific.
