Yesterday was the Pallid Harrier, today was the Bluethroat, not such a usual visitor around the city. I put all pictures, even the bad ones, for better identification. The bird was wagging it's tail, and you could see the stripes like moustaches in the face, as well as the rufous-orange coloration in the sides of the tail.
