Very good shot of this elusive bird and that reflection makes it even better. Very well done under difficult conditions. :-)

No, we don't have this species here in Iceland. Based my comment on what I have read. ;-)

Mervin, we have very similar birds here, by the bushel. This looks almost like or Little Green Heron who hunts in almost the exact same pose. And that shot would be very hard to get here or anywhere. I love how you can see into the water. I wonder what a CP filter would have done for it? :lol:
