Bittern II

by coker

Just after my previous shot, it climbing ready to fly to see-off the other one that it had come across in the reeds!
My thanks to all the "regulars" at Blashford who helped me see this fantastic bird intially.

Very nice, it's always exciting to see these rarities.
If anything I'd say both shots are slightly overexposed, I'd try -0.5ev exposure in whatever software you use, that's just me being picky though.
I've never seen a Bittern posed like this, it's always good to see something different.
