    It was a lucky chance to witness this ... very secretive ... skulking species in broad daylight ... ... found close to marshes and wetlands with abundant marginal growth ... reed and water hyacinth ... One individual ... seen here lurking in the hyacinth ... took to wings and flew across...

    I stood behind a palm tree and captured this bittern with a snack through a hole in the fence at sunrise.

    I believe my ID is correct. Easy to see why they are not very welcomed at fish ponds.

    We were lucky to spot this one amongst the water hyacinth!!! But we spotted the Black Bittern several times, which I attribute to the fact that it stands out against vegetation and is modestly bigger in size. My search for the elusive Cinnamon Bittern continues!!!!

    Not one of my best shots, but a species that is difficult to get this close to or to find this much in the open.
  22. Look alike

    Look alike

    In all respects except the difference in size ....the Pond Heron dwarfs the Yellow Bittern which just landed beside the heron and started stalking a potential prey....these two are just few feet apart!!! Long shot cropped!!!
  23. Yellow Bittern

    Yellow Bittern

    So small but strikingly similar to the Pond Heron..but smaller... Both the bitterns were shot at the same location just few minutes apart!!! Both were rather long shots and the pics are a huge crop.
