Bittern

Bittern - On Monday I went to the Somerset levels. It was a bittern day as I have never seen so many flying around. This shot is a group of six. Distant I know but an amazing sight.

From Reedbed to Icebed.

Looks rather comfy laid out on the ice or was it trying to get out of a Hole ???.

I always hear clicking when I cross this channel.

Had to wait awhile but the Bittern finally showed crossing the channel at a local patch.The clicking noise from cameras was quite deafening.

"Aaahhhh.That's better.

This Bittern was in an unusual pose when I took this shot.I'm not sure what he was doing but he looked happier after.
