Gary Fairhead wrote: Excellent captures here Dennis ...love the whole series. What a great bird and is it ever focused. Looks like you got pretty low on the angle which is nice. Numbers 2, 5 and 8 are my favourites. Thanks Gary, I take a portable short stool so I can lay in wait in some confort and be inconspicuous.

Whenever I see a bittern, it has already seen me and stands perfectly still with it's beak pointed up. (Either that, or it flys away ). It's nice to see the action sequence. What I really like about bitterns and egrets and herons is their intense piercing eyes Thanks Jim, actually I have never seen the traditional pose, I just noticed the unusual behavior.

Ron Thanks Ronn, It must have lasted 20 minutes or so, the bittern moves very slowly. tupe wrote: I would love to, but I doubt it. My daughter is coming back east this week.
