The last pic is an absolute cracker - complete with water droplets on the back, pale tips to outer tail feathers and a great "alert" posture.

Thanks Mike.
This lady comes to drink & bathe between about 07:30-08:00 every day and varies her approach direction and bathes in a different spot on each occasion.
She is very very sensitive to the slightest camera/lens movement and whilst bathing is continuously on the lookout for other thrushes and predators in the vicinity.

She came to bathe a little late today, possibly due to the much larger Blue Whistling Thrush being in the vicinity.
Not seen the male for about 2 weeks now.... possibly moved on to warmer climes as the cooler weather reached Hong Kong.
