Mikepércs: Stonechats and Warblers Instead of Bearded Reedlings

Today I took the hide with me and visited the place where I saw the bearded reedlings last time. I hoped we would meet again. They thought differently but I met other birds. A reed bunting settled on a reed but unfortunately other reeds in front of the bird were ruining the picture. Then stonechats appeared and started to watch the hide with curiousity:

Meanwhile a young willow warbler appeared as well:

Then the stonechats settled again on reeds in front of the hide:

In the end the young willow warbler reappeared:

Mikepércs: Bearded Reedlings

After some break I visited my matting hide again though I had been afraid that the water could be vanished. And so it was (nearly). At the front of my hide where last time the water spread to the opposite shore there was only a small puddle. Moreover even the birds' footprints could not be seen in the mud. Only the young white wagtails stayed around my hide. They were running sometimes on top of the matting:

I was waiting some time but as nothing happened I decided to gather my things including my hide and leave. After having packed everything I looked round nearby and found a flock of bearded reedlings at a flood gate. They were quite familiar so I could take a few shots of them:

After a few minutes they lost interest and flew away.

Verőce: Crocus

I participated as a spectator on a championship of horseback archery which was taking place at Verőce, Lósi-valley Farkas-Laka riding resort. I found some crocuses near the track so I started to take some shots of one of the flowers:
