This is such a cute moment...
I wonder if the look out is saying...
"ok, nothing to see, just us taking our regular bath, got what you came for..." :) awesome capture!

Location
This was taken on a beach on Cornwall, England. I was surprised that the Jackdaws were bathing in salt water.Time
I took this around 1.30pm. We were walking along the road next to the sea wall when I looked over & saw these two having a bath.Lighting
This was taken in late April on a dull overcast day but luckily the water reflects the light so managed to get a nice shot.Equipment
I took this on my old bridge camera a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150. I've since upgraded to theFZ2000Inspiration
I just love the fact that even though the water was salty & not that warm, these guys still take great care of their plumage & needed to bathe. Also one would bathe while the other kept watch & they alternated this as I watched them.Editing
No post-processing needed here.In my camera bag
I'm a very lazy photographer & only ever carry my camera. I do keep a tripod in the car but rarely use it.Feedback
Keep your eyes open around you. I only saw these two because I looked over a wall. You never know what you'll find on the other side!
