The weekly Bird of the Day community asked contributors to submit 'WaterDroplets' images with 'Robins' as the alternate prompt. Submissions include a European robin bathing in a garden pond in south Cheshire, an American robin tending a nest and later attending nestlings behind newly leafed bushes, a little grebe surfacing from a dive off South Crete, and a robin singing in The New Forest, Hampshire. Photographers noted ethical shooting practices, with at least one contributor specifying shots were taken from a distance to avoid disturbing nests. The themes spotlight bird bathing and breeding behaviors, useful for birders tracking seasonal activity and water-related behaviors across Britain and the Mediterranean.
