Bittern disappearing act!!! (1 Viewer)

[DanDaMan]

At Old Moor RSPB yesterday, I was in the non-public hide watching and videoing a juv Bittern and it disappeared, ducking instantly out of view, only when moving the video along frame by frame can you actually see it go down- super quick. I don't believe I can upload videos on hear but it is on my blog at http://danielsbirdingblog.blogspot.co.uk/ as well as an awful pic of the Night Heron there last night. I mean it, it's terrible. You have been warned.

Just wondered if anyone else has seen anything similar with Bittern???

Thanks

Daniel

It just ducked down didn't it??? I don't know about a disappearing act.. I'd like to see them do an appearing act.. I've never seen them....
