They are gathering and preparing for the trip south again. 
I think they will leave early as the waterlevel is still too low.

It is very dry here now. Every pond is drying out. Where the sandpipes walk ducks usually are diving. Soon there will be no water left.

The water is very low right now so vaders start to come here as other places are all dried out. I had to make my way through all of the reed below the field,  to get to the water edge.
