Botaurus stellaris
RSPB Minsmere
A most ridiculously confiding bird at Island Mere, Minsmere. Hunted for food for around 3 hours right in front of the hide, unperturbed by us photographers only about 15 metres away. Eventually caught a roach of about 1.5 pounds and scampered back into the reedbed to enjoy its prize!
