Today the coots were playing the main role, although a little grebe was the first to come within shooting distance:

Then the coots got closer and closer while feeding:

They were chasing each other quite often. After such an event they readjusted their plumage by flapping their wings then shocking themselves:

It seems they get sleepy too with filled stomach:

Besides the coots there were gadwalls, shovelers, pochards, ferruginous ducks, garganeys and mallards on the pond, but too far to take a good shot of them. Even a flock of cranes appeared in the sky, they spent a few minutes there circling, perhaps they were searching for a secure place to land nearby. Later they returned then disappeared in the distance.
