This is a crop from a head & shoulders shot which at one point came too close to focus!

Canon 1D MkIII = 500 f4 iso400 1/100 at f6.3

Excellent! I love the way the BG mirrors the head shape (and I hadn't realised their eyes can do that!)

Hi David,

This is an unusual take of a Bittern!

They say any shot of this elusive bird is a job well done, but this is cracking!

Astounding shot (and very freaky looking).
