Bittern

We've been fortunate to have a number of Bitterns locally. We had 3 at this particular location last Saturday! A bit of a distant shot (oh, ok, a very distant shot ;)!), about 150-200 metres away, but still happy to get any kind of record of these birds.

The cold weather appears to be bringing these normally secretive birds out into the open. A superb capture of a strutting Bittern. Nice one Hobbes.
