On a hot day here they tear around for a bit, then drop and dive into the baths, but mainly to get a drink, then lay about in the sun for a while, then take off again.....
On a showery day they are all in the bath flopping about or upside down on the lawn. :D
When it's wet and cold mine dive into the drinkers and bath soaking the floors when in winter months more so than summer
