At what a rate has the water shrunk at the pond this week? Am I still able to make acceptable photos there? Now I am prepared for this case when I'm unable to take decent shots of the birds moving on the ground: I've taken a landing branch, I'm sure the wagtails are willing to use it with pleasure.
As soon as it got light the young white wagtails appeared:

One of them is rushing up the branch to try quickly the feeling of perching there:

Meanwhile a wood sandpiper is coming closer while feeding:

What a difference is preening on a branch then on the ground:

Tense attention ("should I stay or should I get away?"):

"I'd rather stay":

A ruff is getting closer as well:

One has to use ones wings to stay up in this sinking mud:

Anyway, it's been worth coming today!
