After a long break today morning I visited the bathing pool becouse I noticed some activity there a few days ago: I saw even a coal tit there beside other tits and robins.
After some arrangements I "disappeared" in the hide. A few minutes later I could hear the jays' and one of them landed on the side of the pool. After having a bath its headdress looked like this:

Then other jays came, folowed by the blackbirds ...:

... and the song thrushes. One of them was frightened by its own reflection whenever landed on the side of the pool. It recoiled so much as if it had seen the devil itself.
Then a robin visited the pool for a few moments:

Then came the surprise: A sparrow hawk landed on the side of the pool and walked into the water. It raised one of its legs and was standing there for half an hour and was just having rest and looking around:

Then came another surprise: a great tit appeared on a small tree near the pool. The distance between the tit and the sparrow hawk was only about 4-5 feet. The tit must have known that the sparrow hawk wouldn't hunt this time, it even flew across the pool and the sparrow hawk which wasn't interested in the tit either, it just had a look at it. After such a long rest the sparrow hawk came across to have a bath. On one moment it gave me such a cutting glance that I thought it had noticed me:

After having finished it flew away.
The jays kept on coming to have a drink:
