Both photos were taken within a few seconds of each other.

The pictured individual appeared to relish dip #2 even more than it had evidently enjoyed its first immersion, five minutes earlier.

Chapters #39 through #41 feature the same individual; #39’s photo was taken immediately after that morning’s first sighting of him/her.

S/he was so sodden as to be unrecognisable, in terms of species or age.

The featured image, above, was taken three minutes later.

I then assumed that our hero/ine was relishing the morning sunshine’s drying power… and would soon be airborne.

I was wrong.

#40 will answer the headline’s question!

The very tiny star of this and the next two chapters was photographed within a single five minute “window” on the morning of 09 February 2025.

This chapter’s three previously-unpublished photos show the same individual.

They were taken within a single minute, on the morning of 07 February 2025.

Above and below, this grey fantail had just emerged from what soon proved to be the first of two immersions.

You are looking at a very widely-distributed , small, insectivorous bird.

His or her feathers are not wet, so the bird appears to be a deal bigger/meatier than it really is.

Rhipidura albiscapa – the grey fantail – is very easy to see, across most of non-arid Australia.

I photographed the pictured individual at 5.47 pm on 11 February 2025, near Youngs Siding.
