Mikepércs: Another Honey Buzzard!

After a few weeks I got into the hide again at the pool. I thought the birds would come because of the heat. That's how it happened, a honey buzzard came to drink, ...:

Mikepércs: Collared flycatcher

I give it a try for the first time this year at the pool. I'm sitting in the hide almost 2 hours when the birds start to come. A collared flycatcher lands on the landing branch:

It doesn't stay long and it doesn't land at the pool either.

Then a blackcap comes for a bath, ...:

... and a starling:

Big Activity At The Pool

This morning I got into the hide at the pool with high hopes. I didn't have to wait long as I soon heard then caught sight of the first surprise on a branch: A male collard flycatcher! It landed on the side of the pool but left at once. What a pity!

A male blackbird was the first successful theme today:

Then the second pleasant surprise appeared: a wood warbler started to search an appropriate place for bathing, ...:

... and it did find it:

Evidently it really enjoyed dabbling:

The third surprise is a green woodpecker:

It landed at the same time like a jay at the side of the pool, they didn't like each other's company:

The green woodpecker searched even for some food at the side of the pool:

Debrecen, Great Forest: At the bathing pool again
