Penguin the Magpie and Noah take an Outdoor Shower

Photographer Cameron Bloom’s son Noah rescued a magpie when it was a chick. Since then, although the appropriately (more or less) named Penguin is as free as a bird (ahem) it keeps coming back to re-engage with its adopted family. Here Noah (an even more appropriate name, perhaps!) and Penguin take an outdoor shower together on a hot summer’s day.

You can see more photographs of this amazing friendship on Cameron Bloom’s Instagram feed.
