Can you see me now?

Hi all.
Went to Richard De Korte Park yesterday for a casual walk.
I was lucky enough to spot this well camouflaged American Bittern soaking sun rays.

Thanks for looking.

They really do blend in that grass. Good eye

amazing you saw them to take the shots, that bird looks like the grass

Were you in AF or MF mode?

AF mode. This time I used my walk around lens, 70-300L and was shooting handheld.
Wish I had my 400 5.6 with tripod.

Thanks a lot Kris.

Very good eyes to spot that bird Kris!
You apparently hung around long enough for it to emerge and go fishing....and allow you to make some very nice captures as well. You'll just have to go back w/400 in hand and repeat this exercise.....c'mon, we're waiting -

Very nice set, sure was buried in those reeds in the first, Well done!
