Tisza-lake: Day 3

When I woke up on the 3rd day the sun was hidden by some clouds:

I went on making flight shots. There were quite lots of white-winged black terns, yellow-legged gulls and black-headed gulls flying close to me:

I waited a lot for the marsh harrier to come, as I saw it flying on this place yesterday. Then it appeared suddenly:

Fortunately there was not a strong sunlight which had a good effect on the images, on the other hand the light clouds didn't give a nice background.

Tisza-lake: Day 2

During the morning hours I tried to catch the flying birds nearby. As there is a big traffic of boats and canoes near the harbour the birds are familiar. Many yellow-legged gulls can be found here:

Many times they tried to rob the prey from each other, however there were a lot of food for them in the water, many dead fish and mussels could be seen. These two birds were chasing one another long, unfortunately a bit far from me:

Lake Tisza: Canoeing trip

We planned a canoeing trip on the Lake Tisza, near Tiszafüred. Here the birds got used to humans going by boats and canoes so they let me get quite close to them:
