watching birds on 600 meter and the first migrant on the farm (29th of August)...black and white Warbler

I decided to go to Caldera area (600 m) today,  was too lazy and I left the house 7.30, that was not the plan , at least you have to go at 6.30 am ..because around 9 am it will get warmer and the birds will be slower.
Did go to several spots, road , river area , did find a nice trail along a river.. :
I like rivers , especially in warmer areas because birds stay longer active there...but  would love to turn off the sound of the river for a while.....

Because I did arrive around 7.50am, the birds were already slower.
But still it was nice to be in that area and see different birds and trees.

They are bored  and patient...
