Rodna Mountains: Looking For Rhododendrons

This year I visited tha Lala Lakes again hoping to admire the sight of mountain slopes full of rhododendrons.

In the first evening I climbed on the crest and the Ineu peak to admire the sunset. Other people came up here for the same reason:

Next day at dawn:

I was hoping to see more rhododendron flowers but unfortunately this year they were not in full bloom yet.

I decided not to stay one more night, instead I would go down and visit the Horses waterfall next morning:

I have a try at the bathing pool again. The first guest is a great spotted woodpecker, this time a male:

He is followed by a blue tit, ...:

... then I discover a bird head in the grass behind the pool. It comes closer, I can see that it's a young blackbird. It jumps on the edge of the pool:

It's a bit clumsy:
