I followed along with this bird as it was hunting. It moved very deliberately but in slow motion. I didn't include the images where it was almost hidden by vegetation, as it just disappears. C & c welcome.
Thanks for looking.
Rex

1 Stalking.

Hi Rex...

Beautiful photographs of a highly camouflaged bird under difficult lighting conditions.

Wonderful work.

Thanks

You got some close-ups of a bird that is very hard to find let alone get close. Amazing shots.

Seldom do we get to see this wonderful bird clearly. You've got some real gems here and I love them.

Great job, Rex! These guys can be hard to even spot, so good job by you finding him and then tracking him through the brush. You have some very nice, clean looks and great light!

Excellent light and good job with these, Bitterns are usually very shy.

Primo, Rex! Love these clean behavioral tack-sharp shots in gorgeous light! And you obviously didn't spook it...

Thanks for posting.

Thanks, KD. When you find or stumble on them, you have to go for it.

Thank you Louie. I have seen them many times over the years, but most of the time it's tough to get good images.

Thank you, Geoff. It's impossible to know how many times I've walked right by them, not knowing.
