Szepes, Debrecen: At the drying pond

The water level of the ponds near Szepes has decreased so much that placing my hide on branches wich I put on the margin of the pond the hide didn't dip into the mud. 
I got there at dawn and didn't have to wait long, my first visitor was this curious sedge warbler:

Later the white wagtails came to catch insects from the dried mud:

Then a little ringed plover arrived chasing insects:

There were other species too like wood sandpipers, common sandpipers and ruffs.
