When the summer is over, we still enjoy some nice sunny days in the autumn. Even better as it is not very hot but pleasantly warm. For the sparrows in the park it is just another day when they can take a bath in the fountain. I love to watch birds washing themselves. They have such a funny way to do it. And at the same time if I freeze the moment, like I did with this little one, you can see some of the water tiny droplets glistening on the beak.
It seems young bird and the way it puffed made it look super cute. What do you think? Have a look at the pictures that will follow and tell me, is it not the cutest sparrow?
There were two sparrows, only one was in the bottom. This fountain is very much used by other birds as pigeons, seagulls, jackdaws. It is going to be stopped in winter because it might freeze. Until then the birds can enjoy their bath.
The water barely cover the bottom of the fountain, but it is enough for such a tiny bird to roll and clean the feathers.
Some more splashes. The sparrow definitely enjoyed the water and me to watch it. If I have a house with a garden, I will have birthbath for sure. It is more interesting than to watch telly.
The second sparrow was standing on the edge of the fountain.
And that is all for now. Wishing you a very nice day!
Some of the photos I used and posted in Birds in Bulgaria Facebook group.

I have some sparrows visiting sometimes!
They are very common birds.
it's not good to see someone talking a bath 😅😅😁😋 your photographs are stunning
Hahaha, yeah, you are right. 🛀
How funny! Chubby! There is practically no water, but he still managed to wash a little.😀
It was so hilarious. 😂
I am looking forward to seeing some more birds using the fountain until it is shut.
I haven't seen a sparrow in a long, long time.
These were the commonest birds here.
Really? They are very common here and even though I read about the decreased numbers, it seems they are numerous in our area.
You are so blessed.
I grew up feeding sparrows.. but I haven't seen one in ages.
We were told sparrows are decreasing in numbers.. but they disappeared.
Apparently they can be found in the rural areas.
But I hardly get to leave the city.
Beautiful photos of little sparrows @nelinoeva, they are very cute indeed. They look so small and vulnerable.
But, they have a very bad reputation for spreading lice when making nest in roofs of houses. But, who can blame these little feathered friends for nesting in a safe and stable places to live and bring up a family?💜
Thank you @angiemitchell.
Hm, I did not know that about the lice. In fact I did not see the sparrows here where they build nests. Except from the ones that occupy the empty nests of the house martins and sometimes they use holes in the walls.
