Sometimes the reflection is brighter than the original. I suggest that this image be viewed while listening to the wonderful Bonobo track with the same title...
.....no matter in which world, whether SL or RL.

Capturing images of Least Bitterns in flight can be tricky because their impetus and direction of launch is often unpredictable. An exception is during the three-to-four-week period when their hatchlings are on or near the nest, before they have fledged, when they are completely dependent on the parents for food. Then, both parents will follow a cautious but predictable pattern and a flight path that can be anticipated when conditions are right. The adult birds will venture fairly far from the nest area to gather baitfish, which they hold in their gullet prior to feeding the young. On their return, they first perch within sight of the nest and scope the area for any sign of predators (stage one). Once satisfied that the way is clear, they make a bee-line to a spot a few yards from the nest where they blend into to reeds (stage two). Finally, they make their way to the waiting hatchlings and regurgitate the food into their yawning beaks (stage three).
If I am lucky enough to find a nest in a conducive location, I can sit quietly in my kayak close enough to be within feet of the stage two flight path but far enough from the nest to avoid stressing the birds. In this case, luck was with me on Horsepen Bayou.

June 30th of this year we will live a second longer
A leap in time due to a change in the Astronomical Time
caused by slowing down the Earth's rotation.
The first "leap second", occurred in 1972 and, since then, was followed by others 25. A phenomenon that is due to the unpredictable nature of events, such as earthquakes, tides and weather, that is, all those elements that change the Earth's rotation and Consequently, the "flow" of time.
June 30th watches in the world will mark the 11:59:60 pm instead of the classic 11:59:59 pm. To this day, there will be 86401 seconds instead of 86400. The length of the day for all of us on Earth will have a second longer.
So we were able to lengthen the time!?!
And how come we can make things so difficult and we can not do other things much easier, how to stop these stupid wars ....

Halte dich besser fern von diesem Ort ....
ich habe Hexen gesehen hier und dort.
Dunkle Schleier treiben umher,
und schlafen kann niemand mehr.
Die dunklen Kreaturen der Nacht
übernehmen heute die Macht.
I uploaded a photo this morning, 'Storm in the polder'. On that occasion, it was too cloudy to get the movements in the clouds nicely visible.
This afternoon, the sky opened up, so I went again to the same spot, for a second attempt. A lot more satisfying I think!
Despite the satisfying results, I learned a valuable lesson about the boundaries of my (cheap) filter set (Stealth Gear). Massive colour deviation into red, purple and magenta. Only heavy processing in Lightroom and Photoshop saved the picture. I'm anxious for your comments.. what do you think of it?
I was never too thrilled with this photo before I cropped it, but when I was looking through older photos for a project, I thought this might be a good crop. I made a few other tweaks, like erase the flag, but the crop is the main difference. I will put the original, which I posted in July 2013, in comments. For all I know, you may prefer that one.
Can you hold on for a second, on second thought maybe two while I get my second phone! (It took me 27 tries to get the stop watch function to stop on exactly 1 second.)
From the west-side construction of the Hackerbrücke in Munich, Germany people often enjoy a sundowner. However, when the best seats are taken, one has to improvise and sit in the second row aka. the east-side.
