Least Bittern (Ixobrychus exilis)

Another bird that loves to hide deep in the reeds. This one was guarding a nearby nest - a male and female couple were there...every rare once in a while, another bird would disturb the reeds they had set their nest in, and this one would come marching out to see what the disturbance was.
