Spent enjoyable day with Colin Picket & Richard Peter's,Bittern was showing well.

Canon 40D,Sigmonster 300mm~800mm @ 336mm,iso 640,f6.3,1/1000sec

So you decided not to wait for the exchange rate to improve after all...

Good to see you, although I still think it's cheating using the Sigmonster AND a 1.6 crop body...

Glad you rejoined and are posting again Barrie, any day that's ends with beer is always a enjoyable day.

Cool bittern Barrie in a classic setting, more of a head turn to profile might have been nice but then it would probably be a bit tight on the left

Always nice to see-sharp and nicely presented-a slight head turn would have topped it off

A pity it is walking away and I do think you needed a head turn, otherwise an excellent capture, well executed. Nice one.

head turn already mentioned but very nice otherwise. Certainly a clearer view of a Bittern than I've ever managed.
