Proud Bittern

Hi Guys,

First of all i would like to thank you for your support on my camera problem (see recent post). Second i went over to Canon to have the camera fixed and as a CPS member they gave me another Canon 1D Mark III for the time being to use whilst mine is in repair. I just hope it is not the sensor that has been broken as that might cost somewhere between a 1000.- and 1500.- euro..

So...out with the spare camera to continue my Bittern project i photographed it whilst sunbading in this hadsome and proud pose...

greetings,

Jeroen Stel

Who was sunbathing Jeroen? You or the bittern?

Another very well composed shot up to the standard we have come to expect from you.

Thanks for sharing it with us.

hope your camera is sorted too. Really nice habitat and behaviour shot.
can you send some bitterns this way please

The first Bittern I've seen that actually looks happy

Hi Jeroen another great capture of the bittern.

Another great bittern shot. Glad you have got another camera to make the most of the opportunity while yours is away being repaired.

Another fine Bittern image. Hopefully your camera repair won't cause too much inconvenience and expense.

Super stuff Jeroen

Alan

this series of bittern shots has been very impressive Jeroen and this is another very nice shot. Great pose.

sorry to hear about your sensor
