Green Woodpecker Again

My last week photography wasn't very successful so I was very curious about this morning.

I have to wait long today for the birds to appear however the lights are fine. 9 o'clock has past when a green woodpecker lands on the side of the pool and starts drinking. This time the female:

Then starts to investigate the mossy log:

The spotted flycatcher appears again at the end of the pool. Another bird wants to land too, that's why the flycatcher's opens its beak:

Soon I can hear hawfinches, one of them lands and starts bathing:

So does this chiffchaff, ...:

... followed by a great spotted woodpecker:

Then comes a surprise: a green lizard's head appears at the end of the pool covered by flocks of cottonwood:

 It's putting out the tongue for a while then it disappears at once as soon as a jay lands on the log nearby.

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, ...:

Evidently it really enjoyed dabbling:

It didn't stay longer I'm afraid but I managed to record it!

A tit had a thorough bath too:

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:
