Sunbathing Robin
A robin enjoying the Easter sunshine on the garden fence. I have seen birds opening their feathers up like this on the ground and had interpreted the behaviour as 'anting' - letting ants in to remove parasites. However, there were no ants here so sunbathing seems the most likely explanation.
