Hearing the male Bitterns booming and not seeing them isnât that unusual. I was still hoping to see one though, as you do!
Of course, I was busy watching something else, when this one quietly flew out of the reedbeds and across the skyline. Not the best of shots, if Iâd caught it slightly earlier the background could have been a lot better⊠better than nought though!
My thanks to anyone who faves or comments on this photo. It is much appreciated.
3 shots from early February last year. 2 of female Bullfinch @ Sculthorpe Moor & a distant Bittern on local pool
Another shot of the Bittern...Botaurus stellaris, captured late afternoon at RSPB Minsmere Reserve, Suffolk, Englands.
Noticed a group with lenses & binoculars trained on an area in the reedbed, full marks to whoever spotted this pair because they were well hidden.
Lots of Bitterns at this reserve, often heard but rarely spotted.

I was standing on bridge #3 looking to the east. I had seen three different Great Blue Herons and then I spotted this Bittern flying towards me. I thought it might be headed for the bridge but one the Great Blue Herons took off and it swerved back towards the reeds along the south end of the pond.
Bittern in stalking mode.
Likely a male on account of the darker crown.
Trying to get a feel for the 2xTC on FE100-400mm GM.

Mondat garden work again. Uploading a set of Bittern picx from Saturday. I was surprised & amazed when he popped out of the nearest clump of reeds to the hide. I dare not lift the camera up above the rim of the hide or stand up for a better view as it would have been gone. Had to crop the pics to get rid of the dark line @ bottom from the edge of the opening. Watched as he started to swim or wade across the open water then turned back when he realised he was being watched.
A lifer for me and a really great day out in Rickmansworth. I didn't want to go home lol.
A really gorgeous bird and a real rarity for Hertfordshire.
A very small Heron, smaller than a moorhen.
View large if you can.

This Bittern was photographed at Dungeness RSPB I saw it as it flew into Cooks pool as they opened the main reserve gate and then again as it moved to Hookers gravel pit a short while later . There are only very few Bittern breeding in this country but during hard winters, small influxes of birds from the continent arrive there may be as many as five hundred birds in the UK some winters . They are secretive and spend most of their time deep in the Reeds so I was very pleased to get this bird in flight .
A Bittern set. Was great to watch this Bittern on top of the reeds, then take off and head towards the channels. 5th Feb 2023. Look at them legs!
In the early morning sunlight, in Suffolk. Difficult lighting and a cluttered image, but it's a Bittern.
My first clear sight of a bittern, 10 shots in less than a minute. Then nothing else till my feet froze. But a great day.
Really pleased to see this bittern and even more pleased to get a picture. I guess I'm well pleased! Pity about the sky though.
After nearly two full days in the hide at Minsmere I got lucky and had this individual bird come out in view for first time so chuffed! (Up to 6 birds on view but often hiding in typical bittern fashion)
Bittern - Fishers Green, Lee Valley, Waltham Abbey, Essex. So nice to finally see this elusive wader!
Another look at this juvy folks, the last for now but there will be others in the future. Photography is getting slow now, it's hot and really uncomfortable, but will do it anyway, I thought I would just complain a little. Have a great day and thank you for stopping by.
