Bathing Ritual of Yellow Vented Bul Buls

It was a  day of extreme heat. Humidity was at  it’s highest! A flock of Yellow Vented Bul Buls decided they have had enough of the torturous weather and decided to take a dip in a nearby stream.

The sequence of shots show how these little fellas enjoyed their cooling down oblivious of yours truly hanging around pretty close. Enjoy!

After a good one hour or so  it was time to fly off to their favorite perch to do some more cleaning and drying of their soaking wet feathers. Yours truly decided to leave the scene in search of other birds. :-)
