Mikepércs: Wishing The Pygmy Cormorant

I would like to catch the last time's pygmy cormorant, so yesterday I moved my hide a bit and placed two branches in front of it, in case the cormorant would come again. 

It's not too dark when I get into the hide. Soon I can hear the voice of an approaching night heron which soon lands right on my branch for my greatest pleasure. I try to photograph it but it's too dark. Unfortunately it flies away after some time. The Sun rises slowly and starts to enlighten the water:

Nothing happens for long though the lights are beautiful. At last a grey heron lands:

It's moving very slowly but doesn't catch anything.

The coots don't come close, but I think I have managed to take some nice shots:

Then a whiskered tern is landing, unfortunately with back to me:

Thin clouds start to hide the sun changing the colours completely:

The terns are taking turns at landing on and flying away from the branch:

Suddenly another bird is willing to land on the same place ...:
