Mikepércs: Siskins

There's not much bird activity at the pool nowadays, so I didn't expect too much for today. And there wasn't much light because of the overcast weather. It did't happen anything for hours so I gave up waiting and got out of the hide. At that moment I could hear voices of approaching tits so I got back into the hide again. Moreover, the voices of a siskin group could be heard as well so I became even more excited. I unpacked the equipement quickly but the tits disappeared soon. However the siskins landed on all sides of the pool for my greatest pleasure. They all came to drink. And I just had to push the button:

I had placed a stone on one side of the pool for the birds might find it a good place for drinking. And the siskins did use it hustling out each other:

After a few minutes they left as suddenly as they came. And I was happy being able to record something again.

Mikepércs: Wrens

The first day of november came with overcast weather. I would have liked a bit more light but it's not a matter of desire. Birds were not keen on coming to the pool either. After a long wait a jay appeared:

It didn't stay long. But soon I could hear the soft chirping voice of wrens. And in a minute they appeared at the pool. There were three of them at least. They visited every corner and I could see them pop up on different parts of the pool and its neighbourhood. It seems that having made a pile of branches and twigs near the pool braught to result as the wrens occupied it for several minutes searching for insects as if they were playing hide-and-seek. Meanwhile I was peeping eagerly the places where they could appear and I could make some quick shots. It's not easy to take shots of them for they are very fast and almost continously moving creatures. These are the best images taken of them:

After about half an hour they got away and as later no other birds appeared I left the place too.
