Mikepércs: In Backlight Again

I was satisfied with my last week's results, so I stayed on the same place today.
The rails appear quite early, but the first photos of them are not too successful. As soon as the sun rises a snipe rushes in front of the hide:

The starlings land on the drying pondbed in flocks again:

The young rails come out of the reed regularly to search among the vegetation:

The wood pigeons and the turtle doves are perching on the bushes nearby but sometimes they are landing near the remaining water to drink. One of them comes quite close this time:

I managed to catch a young specimen as well:
