Mikepércs: Shelduck

I would have liked to take photos of the shelducks for long. For my greatest pleasure they appeared regularly on the pond where my hide was laying. For this reason I dragged my hide closer to the place where they usually rest. First this avocet was the theme:

Then a black-winged stilt was preening and posing prettily:

And today appeared the shelduck again, this time without its mate but within a proper distance. I was delighted by taking some photos of this quite rare bird in Hungary. Doing some morning exercise:

I managed to take photos of the mating whiskered terns as well:
