Bittern

The Bittern is one of Britains rarest birds and due to its secretive habits, extremely hard to find. Even when you know there is a a bird about it can be missed due to its ability to blend in with the reeds. The birds feather patterns and colouring match the reeds in which it lives....something I've shown here in this recent image.

 

Please View On Black to see the bird in much better detail.

 

Canon 7D, 300mm f2.8 fitted with 1.4x converter. Tripod with Black Widow gimbal head.
