Usually you'll see starlings pecking at your lawn or in murmurations in the sky, so it's quite a treat to see them having fun in the tub.

These young birds were videoed by Keith Ross cooling off at Cliffsend, near the Pegwell Bay country park in Thanet.

Mr Ross describes himself as a bird watcher, artist, web designer and maker of short wildlife videos around Thanet.

He tweeted the video and said: "Lots of young Starlings about now. This lot were enjoying a bath at Cliffsend, #Pegwell :-) #Thanet #wildlife

He also has a youtube channel called Ramsgate Birds.
