That is lovely light on a very elusive bird. Well done on getting it out in the open. The blue of the water contrasts well with the camo. colours of the bittern making it stand out even more.

An excellent shot, showing the bittern superbly in its habitat.

Excellent image - superb light and colour makes it a bit different from the usual bittern image.

Excellent! Great to see one out in the open, and the blue water is really nice for the background.

Great to get this so clearly Phil. There is one back more locally but its far more elusive than this chap! :smile:
