Bittern
Thought I'd post an old favourite of mine, a couple of my lovely flickr contacts are talking about hoping to see Bitterns this winter and a couple of reserves I've visited recently people are all talking about bitterns and looking forward to seeing them again this winter.
Back at the Start of this year I was very lucky to find a bittern on the stour river and over the course of a short time managed to get the bittern to trust me sitting on the opposite bank for it to come out and fish in the open. I had no camouflage gear or hides.....I just sat in very very cold plain sight!
So I know how special it is to see these rare and elusive here in the UK, so I wish Louise and Lisa all the best and hope they managed to see these lovely birds.
As for me I've got everything crossed hoping the one I saw last year will revisit the same spot I found last winter. :-)
