Schmetterlinge in Ungarn
Hauhechel-Bläuling (Polyommatus icarus) bei der Paarung,
könnte aber auch ein "Kleiner Esparsetten-Bläuling" (Polyommatus thersites) sein, sieht schon sehr ähnlich aus.

but could also be an "Chapman's Blue" (Polyommatus thersites), already looks very similar.

Common Nighthawks are medium-sized, slender birds with very long, pointed wings and medium-long tails. Only the small tip of the bill is usually visible, and this combined with the large eye and short neck gives the bird a big-headed look.Common Nighthawks are easiest to see in flight at dawn and dusk as they forage for aerial insects.
Cleeve Common.
The common puffball grows on the ground in woodlands and grasslands, often occurring in small clusters. When a fruiting body is mature, a hole opens at the top. When the puffball is bumped by a passing animal or even hit by raindrops, a cloud of spores is puffed out of the hole. The spores will drift away on the wind and help the fungus spread.

The adult male has a long dark bill with a grey band, a red head and neck, a black breast, red eyes and a grey back. The adult female has a brown head and body and a narrower grey bill-band. The triangular head shape is distinctive. Pochards are superficially similar to the closely related North American redhead and canvasback.
Females give hoarse growls. Males have whistles cut off by a final nasal note aaoo-oo-haa.

Common tern (sterna hirundo)
Meaning behind the name:
Sterna = Surprisingly, this isn't Greek or Latin, but Old English from Stern. (See English name below for more details)
Hirundo = Latin for "Swallow" or "Sea-swallow", based on it's simular shape and style, that gives a resemblance to Swallows.
The Old English name Stern (variations include: Stearn or Starn) may have originated from Sweedish "T`arna" and Norwegian "Terne." In 1678, the name Tern was established by Ray and other ornithologists followed suit. It was also known as "Great/Greater tern" and also labelled as "common tern" in 1812 when the smaller numbered Roseate tern was separated but, before the separation of another simular looking species, the Artic tern which came in 1820.
Other names given it at that time were: Pick tarnie, Darr, Tarrock, Purre, Spurre, Kirr, Mew, Skirr, Scray, Kipp and Skiff.

Common Cuckoo / cuculus canorus. 16/05/19.
No need to say a lot .. ridiculously close, impossible to fit in the frame, absolutely stunning.
One of those 'Pinch yourself to check if this is actually real' moments!!!
I hit the jackpot … K-e-r-ching :-))
This young male Cuckoo was located in a reedbed which also held an older male and a gorgeous female. All of them were highly vocal, often engaged in pursuit flights, stand offs and there was even one attempt at mating on a telegraph wire.
(Bucephala clangula).
The female Common Goldeneye looking where the male might be. The male was not far away so they met up just after this shot.

I think he/she is a Nashville Warbler, if someone knows differently, please correct me. It hit the window today but made a pretty quick recovery and flew away, thank goodness. Identified by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
