Mikepércs: Wren And Sparrow Hawk

I counted on the sparrow hawk again today, but I hoped by stealth that the flock of a long-tailed tits would visit the pool as well, for I was witness of their bath the other day.
The first visitor of today's cloudy morning is a jay landing on the side of the pool to have a few gulps of water.
Then a robin appears a few times in the bush nearby but doesn't land on the pool this time either.
Later I can hear the voice of a wren, which soon lands at the end of the pool:

Wren

Wren

Having had a look round it flies away.
Soon the sparrow hawk appears on the side of the pool, splashes into the water to have a bath.
Yet it's keeping an eye:

Then it leaves as suddenly as it has arrived.
