Mikepércs: Terns and Shore Birds

For better photos today I had to move further the hide to follow the water diminution. The whiskered terns were the first to arrive then I was delighted by this white-winged black tern:

Later the dunlins already in breeding plumage landed:

Mikepércs: The First Pictures at the Bathing Pool

I've finished the new bathing pool which I put in front of my hide in the forest but it isn't visited by so many birds than it was in the Great Forest in Debrecen. There in the spring seldom past 10 minutes without a bathing or drinking bird. Here on the other side there were many times when I couldn't see a bird for one hour. I met the following species:

Blackbird (male)

Great Tit

Chaffinch

This blackbird used the stuff at the pool for building its nest:

Mikepércs: Just a Plover

Today afternoon I did some photography at the pond from my hide which I took there recently.  The water has been subsided so I could hope there would be many shore birds. Ruffs, marsh sandpipers, avocets and little ringed plover were moving nearby. I could take reasonable shots only of the plovers, the other birds were far a bit:

Mikepércs: Ready for Taking off

Today I experienced the following event:

The buzzard landed to have some meat which I put for him and he started to eat. Suddenly a clatter of hoofs could be heard more and more loudly. The buzzard instead of taking off cowered down:

The riders went away as they came about 60 feet from the bird mostly behind vegetation. After that he buzzard went on eating.

Mikepércs: With the Tits Again

This time the flight shots haven't been very succesful so I had to be satisfied with less action:

The "daily bread":

Mikepércs: Tits in Action

Today I focused on flight photos. After many exposures I managed to take the following shot:

Mikepércs: The First Buzzard

Today I visited my hide again. First the tits appeared:

Marsh Tit

This photo indicates the presence of snow:

Then late in the morning the buzzard came to have some food. It has settled on a branch which I put there for this purpose:

Mikepércs: Tits

As I live in Mikepércs already I had to find a proper place for a hide and for a bathing pool in the future. The hide has been built in the forest the next task is to attract the birds to that place. 

The tits have soon discovered the feeder and their number is increasing. For the present the great tit and the marsh tit come regularly:
