The interesting thing is the bathing in the river in PM on the first morning
'There was a dip in the river before breakfast, when Dick added three more birds, waterhen, wagtail and swan, to the list he had begun the night before.' (PM, Ch. III)
Well everything in AR is interesting, but why does John consider the above to be specially interesting? The fact that there were birds nearby while the A's and D's splashed around? None of those mentioned above are particularly shy, and swans not at all so.
