The third try has brought what I've been waiting for: The drought attracted lots of birds to the small drinking pool.
The tits are the most fearless, they are the first to come to the water. The other birds, as if they were waiting for this act, are landing after each other to the pool: a whole flock of hawfinches arrive soon, adults and youngs as well, so some conflict between them is inevitable:

Then a young middle spotted woodpecker lands:

A song thrush is also landing:

After the bath the middle spotted woodpecker appears on the landing branch again:

A young great spotted woodpecker arrives too:

Then other birds appear as well, like blackcaps, chaffinches, field sparrows, chiffchaffs, yellowhammer, however I'm unable to make decents shots of them, there's not enough light and I have to work on the landing place as well.
