Bittern

Such great birds that only seem to give you tiny glimpses into there world and then they've blended back into the reeds and gone !!

Mick..

Great view you had here though Michael love the raised foot and posed captured,very nice

That is a superb shot, Mick, I might like to see a little more room on the left of the frame for it to walk into, but otherwise excellent.

David

Superb shot - I love the pose too. I agree - perhaps a little more space on the left though.

Thanks for the comments and yes a little more on the left would be nice, but its virtually full frame with a small crop off the right to balance it up a bit..

Great shot ! and I agree its a bit big in frame but it would do for me !

Excellent shot, well done.

Bit large maybe, but to get it clear of the vegetation was a major bonus - lovely image.

Well it seems that your tiny glimpse was a large eyeful. Great shot.

Tim

Bit more than a tiny glimpse I think !! Great action and detail of one of the most difficult birds to get a clean shot of

A bit big in frame, yes; but it's a cracking shot!

Brilliant shot, I like the tight crop, it shows the bird off superbly,

great pose on the bird, sharp well done

Thanks all for your comments ..........

As i said in a earlier post its virtually Full Frame i've only taken a slice off the right side to balance it, thats all the cropping that i've done ... a bit more space on the left would be nice.
It was close about 4 meters away and i was always aware that i was keeping the bird in the frame as some came close to the tail being out of frame..
Thanks for looking.

Mick..

great bird, as said tadge large butr very nice and out in the open

A very unusual view of a very crepuscular creature. To close to the camera? Well maybe but that's better than to far off.

Exceptional

Great shot , love their feet, classic!

Great pose Mick and what a result getting such a close view. A bit of space to the left wouldn't go amiss but great as-is

Thats ok Michael like them big and just look at those ugly feet being diplayed.

Nice one

Major.

Brill.

Great capture Michael. Agree in an ideal world a bit more room on the left but a cracking capture nevertheless.

Fine for me. Really excellent.

Mick, this is a lovely image of a Bittern, so lucky to get this close. Well done
