Bittern Pose

I sat in a cold hide for 4 hours awaiting a site of the secretive and elusive Bittern,initially with no luck.I gave up and left the hide only to be told a short time later that 2 Bitterns had just been spotted there.I quickly returned and got some close views of this enigmatic bird as it moved through the Reeds,in front of the hide.
