Mikepércs: Black-tailed Godwit In Backlight

Sunshine is expected for today, the sky is clear when I set off.
There was no rain last week which is visible as the water has shrunk considerably so I have to drag the hide onwards.
Except of the coots near the opposite bank there aren't really any birds nearby for a long time.
Then slowly the ruffs arrive with one or two godwits among them.
The sun begins to rise when one of the black-winged stilts comes closer:

One of the godwits is hunting nearby for a long time:

Suddenly another godwit arrives and bundles this one off, but it returns shortly:

Later a few common greenshanks and a spotted redshank turn up but I don't manage to take good shots of them.
The stilts don't quarrel tims time:
