Hi
Robin,
I
would think so. They do like bathing "as much as other birds". You wrote "what I think was a Collared
Sparrowhawk", well that ID appears correct from the
photo.........

Walking on the cyclepath along the western
edge of Lake Ginninderra this morning, we went to investigate a loud hullabaloo
from a wagtail, a magpie lark and a honeyeater in a willow overhanging the lake.
About 3 m above the water on a branch of the willow was what I think was a
Collared Sparrowhawk which appeared to be drying and preening its feathers as if
it had just bathed. Would a Sparrowhawk bathe at the edge of large body of
water like LG?
