Dust bathing

Hard to see I know but the photograph shows our sparrows enjoying a dust bath just underneath my rhubarb! There were three of them and for a good ten minutes they whirled like dervishes, enjoying the dry soil. It is very dry, we must have had at least a fortnight with no rain and have had to resort to watering our newly planted roses and some of our vegetables. Storms are forecast but so far we haven't had anything (plus I really just want gentle rain).
