Periscope up..!

A Euresian bittern (Botaurus stellaris, bölömbika) extends the periscopic neck.

 

We were sitting in a great hide though the open front, lack of heating and the -3 degree Celsius temperature made it a tough challenge to take photos! :) We had bad luck again with weather...dense fog settled over the lake seriously impacting the quality of photos.

 

If you like this photo, your faves, comments and observations are more than welcome!

 

But NO AWARDS, NO BANNERS, NO IMAGES, NO GROUP REFERENCES where you saw it, please.

 

Enlarge image to see more details and visit my 'Birds' and 'Animals& wildlife' albums for more images! :)
