There's nothing like a bit of shaking and jiggling in the shower.

Electricity comes into our houses via a cable that stretches from a pole across the road and is attached to our wall near the front bedroom window.

This cable is a favourite perch for birds, particularly collared doves and I watch them for a longtime sometimes without their noticing me. They even sit on the window sill just a couple of feet from me without noticing and I really am visible to the naked eye!

Anyway, it was raining the other day, strange as you might find that to believe,and one lone collared dove sat on the cable. I thought it looked a bit lonely and might be distressed because it was kind of wriggling.

Then I realized what the wriggling was all about as it became more pronounced. The tail gave a bit of a shake and the wing went up , collared dove did a bit of a rolling motion.

He was enjoying a shower.

Eventually, after some shaking and jiggling, he flew away refreshed.
