Bittern (Britains Loudest Bird)

In the last few weeks I've been lucky and privileged to see Bitterns close at Westhay on Somerset levels and Slimbridge (Gloucestershire) from a hide. I've seen them several times over the years at these locations but on both of these occasions they were ridiculously close.

I read that numbers fell to below 20, 20 years ago in the UK and they have made a remarkable comeback in the UK to 162 at 78 sites.

The turnaround in the bird’s fortunes has been helped by legal protection of habitats and funding through two environmental projects under the EU Life scheme to create new reedbed area's for them to live in.

This one was so close I couldn't fit it in the frame. luckily I had time to take the Teleconverter off and get some great shots.

The common snipe is an illusive bird, and difficult to photograph. You surely did a nice job capturing this one, Paul.

Maybe not my best but first time I've seen one ever, let alone photograph one in my own garden! Although very light(I've read it's the smallest bird in Europe) it moved the Buddleia tops and before they stopped nodding it went to another one, very difficult to get sharp photo's. Would have liked higher ss but I've not yet bought that 400 2.8(or 600 4)
