Mikepércs: Water Rails Again

Today I went for the rails again.
The sun hasn't rised yet when a common snipe appears in the drying pondbed searching for a good place:

Soon a young rail is coming out of the vegetation:

Of course it doesn't stay out for more than a minute but soon another young appears, this time bathing in the lights of the rising sun:

An adult rail is nearby too, but I can't see it well.
The wagtails and other small birds are here as well, if I'm right, this is a marsh warbler:

In the end a wood sandpiper is coming really close:
