Bittern_RobinMorrison
This Bittern was photographed back in June from the Meare Heath hide on the Shapwick Heath nature reserve in Somerset. I had noticed the Bittern land in the reeds some distance from the hide and decided to wait and to see what happened next. I was amazed when it walked through the reeds and appeared in a small clearing right infront of the hide. I held my breath, thinking that one movement from me would scare off the bird. However, the Bittern was more interested in hunting than anything else as shown by this photo.
