Tawny owl takes a lock-down wash-down in garden pond

When Bill Bell from Letwell, South Yorkshire checked his security camera he was amazed to see a cheeky Tawny Owl taking a refreshing bath in his garden pond. It's not a quick dip either, the owl has a lengthy wash-down. All he/she needed was a back scrubber and a shower cap to complete the picture. Birds like to take baths in order to keep their feathers in tip-top condition. It is also thought that they bathe to rid their feathers of ticks and bugs.
