Little bittern ( Juvenile)

I was out at a local Kingfisher spot when this little chap wandered by. It was the size of a small bantum. If anyone thinks its something else please let me know.

it certainly looks like a little bittern but with more patterned feathers so as you say a juvenile would seem likely. A stroke of luck to see one of these wander past you! A nice sharp shot too.

Matt

You lucky so and so


And its got a fish in its beak



Very nice one I would like to have in my folder

Very nice shot Peter. Wish something that interesting would just wonder past me

Hi Pete

Right place right time-nice and sharp-nice one to have on your files

Dave

Very well seen and captured.. Grabbed the opportunity by the proverbials and did it very well.. Nice one..

No idea about ID, but I do know that I like the image! If anything, I might crop out the long piece of grass.

Great shot Nothing that interesting wandered past me in a while !!

lovely shot Peter, the range of colour in the feathers is superb. I don't know too much about birds but i would agree it looks like a juvenile

Well done on capturing it

Nicely seen and taken.

David

Awesome capture of a very skittish bird Peter.

Peter

Well captured a stroke of luck well seen and recorded.
