Fancsika Pond: Icterine Warbler

I've made another try at Fancsika pond this morning.
Having a drought the birds appear quite soon, they are eager to come to the water. Tits are the first to arrive, but the warblers are also coming soon, first a chiffchaff ...:

... then a willow warbler lands:

Then a blackcap and a robin comes to have a bath:

Another bird appears on the landing branch, it's like a willow warbler but a bit greater. Wow! I'm very pleased to see an icterine warbler for the first time!

However it can't get to the water as something scares the birds so they fly away.
When they return, a pied flycatcher is also landing:

Then as a surprise, cows appear behind me, so further photography attempts would make no sense.

Mikepércs: Stonechats and Warblers Instead of Bearded Reedlings

Today I took the hide with me and visited the place where I saw the bearded reedlings last time. I hoped we would meet again. They thought differently but I met other birds. A reed bunting settled on a reed but unfortunately other reeds in front of the bird were ruining the picture. Then stonechats appeared and started to watch the hide with curiousity:

Meanwhile a young willow warbler appeared as well:

Then the stonechats settled again on reeds in front of the hide:

In the end the young willow warbler reappeared:

Debrecen, Great Forest: At the bathing pool again

After some break today I visited the bathing pool again. There were many visitors there:

Are you here again? Shame on you!

Blackcaps (females)

The flycatchers usually come to the pool in may:

One of the regulary visitors:

The robin sometimes caught sight of me sitting the hide behind the glass. In these cases it flew away:
