May has come when bird activity and species richness is decreasing at the pool, the passage migrants have gone.

I'm sitting in the hide in front of the drinking pool again. I always count on the blackcaps, this time the male does appear:

He drinks then flies away:

It's quite light because of the snow, so I can shoot with high shutter speed.
This way I can catch a few starts as well:

The jays are landing from time to time, one of them not only to eat but to sing as well:

This morning I find myself in the hide again. There's no signs of winter, no cold, no snow, no hoar.

This is how the marsh tits are trying to scare one another:

Mikepércs: Siskin

Some sunshine was to be expected for today, so I prepared for some scenes.

It's not cold today, the snow is melting. After some time in the hide I can hear a few siskins nearby. Soon one of them lands on the corner of the pool:

The tits are landing frequently on the landing branch:
