Home Page That pebbly corner is a favourite spot for birds to take a bath, but there's no chance of that at the moment. Instead, a male Blackbird takes a dip by the opposite bank. Watching its repetitive routine for a minute I decide I'd like to have a go at an animated version. It repeatedly dips its head then, as it straightens up again, it vigorously shakes its wings. I made 4 sketches; two for the shaking wings, one for the head dipped down and an in-between stage used when it is both dipping and raising its head.
