Mikepércs: Pochards

After a few weeks of great crested grebe photography I go to the pond again wandering weather the variety of the birds has changed.

With my arrival the coots run away and the ducks take off. It seems that the number of ducks has increased. This is proven when many of them return slowly. Sometimes pochards come close enough:

Of course the coots are there as well but their number has decreased. One of them cries indignantly after having a conflict with another coot:

It seems that the variety of birds has increased recently, so not only coots can be photographed.
