Mikepércs: Whinchats Again

Today I went for the whinchats again at the same place as I was last weekend. After 5:30 I was already in the hide and waited. The harriers didn't come close enough and I didn't expect to take a decent shot of the bluethroat as it always settles on the very top branches of the bushes and sings there. On both occasions I came here, the whinchats appeared around 7 o'clock, and today was no exeption. Today however I saw only one female, but suddenly it appeared on the twig that I had placed especially for her:

Moreover it spent some time there, so I was able to take many photos of it:

Then it disappeared as suddenly as it came. I didn't see it anymore.
On the elder bushes at the side of the reed periodically appeared various reed songbirds: marsh warblers, sedge warblers and great reed warblers. Once this marsh warbler settled on a branch near the hide, so I could record it too:

Mikepércs: Harriers and Whinchats

Today I gave again a try with the bluethroat and the whinchats which I discovered yesterday.

The marsh harriers have been very active from early morning, sometimes they swooped down into the reed, like this female did:

Then for my greatest pleasure the wihnchats appeared again settling mostly on the top of the bushes and peeking insects with interest from there.

They spent a few minutes there catching insects then got away.
The harriers kept on flying:

Once the bluethroat settled on the top of the bush in front of my hide, but the light conditions became poor by that time, so I was unable to take a good shot of it again.
