| Comment | Fortunate to observe this Collared Sparrowhawk bathing in the bird hide at Arid Lands Botanical Gardens. Although a raptor this bird was just as wary entering the water as any small bird. I deliberately darkened the background to emphasize the mood this subject projects. | ||||||||||||||||||
