Nice job Herb,
This species is a real challenge to find let alone photograph. I'm impressed with what you managed to capture in spite of the (typically) crowded habitat.

Hi Herb,

Bitterns are almost never in the open and you did a great job of getting clean shots. I've never seen there chicks before so that is special for me. My picks are 5, 10, 12

Morris


Thanks for the picks Morris

What a wonderful series of a bird that is hard to see with the naked eye, let alone powerful binoculars/lenses.

Thanks for sharing.


I appreciate the reply.

Wonderful behaviour portraits, a good record of a bird in action in its environment. #3 is my pick, very difficult lighting conditions in this shot but the movement in the wing and the sheer concentration and purpose in the stance made this my favourite.

Jonas.


Thanks for the pick and reasons why, Jonas.

Very nice pickup on these Herb especially considering the harsh light and rough backgrounds.

Real nice set from the wayback machine Herb I have never seen one ,but since they are so good at hiding maybe i was looking at one and didn't even see it


I'm sure there would also be a flock of birders if you had one around.
