<p>I&#8217;ve watched a bird bathing today.</p>
<p>I felt discomfort&#8230;  those eyes &#8230; eyes are starring  at me from everywhere. I felt like I was spying the private life of somebody else.</p>
<p>Even the other birds didn&#8217;t disturb the privacy while another is taking a bath. They turned backs too it. May be because of the splashes or may be they don&#8217;t find it so interesting? Or may be because they don&#8217;t have camera like mine? Or&#8230;? Or may be it is a really sacred act for the birds?</p>
<p>I think I know now why every second Australian has a bird bath in his yard. It is nothing less than a constant guilt free spying on someone &#8216;s beauty.</p>

<p>Сегодня состоялись купания на реке ЯрЕ&#8230;</p>
<p>Однако, не мои, боязно, говорят, в ней купаться, не советуют. А птицам можно. И вот фотографирю я этот чудесный момент, и чувствую на себе осуждающие взгляды. Мне показалось, словно я наблюдаю за чьей-то очень частной жизнью. Ни одна птица не посмела нарушить купания этой чайки, все отвернулись.</p>
<p>И я подумала, что если это действительно птичий сакральный момент? Что если нет у птиц ничего возвышение и важнее, чем купание?</p>
<p>Сейчас я понимаю, почему каждый третий австралиец имеет в саду перед домом птичью купальню &#8211; чтобы можно было без конца за кем-то подглядывать.</p>
