To my surprise, this Least Bittern came out in the open in early morning light.

    Excellent shots! Early morning lighting often yields great effects as in your pics.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    What Harry said.. Excellent indeed. I have never see one, but I have heard them rustling around. What a great find!

    Cheers

    Wow. What a catch! These are terrific! Great light and great, clear details, too.

    first and last are great...
    certainly that's a better look at any of these guys than i have ever seen. But just so you know, all of them do look a little "hot" on my screen. Still, very nice to look at. Regards...Keith
