Mikepércs: Nightingale

I could hear the nightingale's sound this year too nearby the drinking pool but I could see it as well this morning.
First it took a look at my hide then flew away. But after some time it returned to land at the side of the drinking pool:

It had a good bath then flew away.

Later a blue tit came for a bath:

Mikepércs: They Start To Come

Birds don't really want to come to the pool. There are long tailed tits, a wren is always there around the hide, a robin appears sometimes as well but I couldn't take a decent shot of them. Today the birds appear only late in the morning at the water:

Mikepércs: Yellowhammer

I planned to photograph at the drinking pool this year too. I gave it a try in march already but with no success. Today however I managed to shoot a yellowhammer:
