Well caught Phil, they're pretty shy these ones. Was this on the mere too? :smile:

Good capture & a good image, I have yet to see one of these birds.
Was there a full length reflection of the bird in the image before cropping?

Excellent shot Phil. I really like the PoV and the environment around the bird really tells you something about the way they creep about in the reeds.

Hi Philip,

You certainly put the time and effort in to capturing a wonderful selection of birds, with this one being no exception.
