Mikepércs: At The Icy Bathing Pool

It was quite cold this morning but I wouldn't have thought that it would freeze at the bathing pool. When I got there the surface of the water was frozen. I wondered how the birds would behave seeing the frozen pool. First a jay appeared ...:

... looked around then flew off.
Then a blue tit landed on the ice, perhaps he wanted to have a bath. He couldn't do it this time. After that the blackbirds came to drink. In such case they usually retched back the kernels of the blackthorn berries they had swallowed previously. This bird is just spitting out a kernel:

Then a robin landed on ice and slipped right away:

It jumped on its feet so quickly that I didn't even notice the move:

Then it tasted the kernels spit out by blackbirds but it didn't like them:

The robin was jumping and fluttering here and there for a while:

On my way home I noticed two parasol mushrooms on the side of the road. Here's one of them:
