Radwell Bittern

About time we had one! Worthwhile waiting for dusk at the small reed-fringed pool at Radwell tonight. This shot was taken by holding my iphone up to the telescope and hoping for the best!

Bittern, Stewartby Lake, 17th January 2010. Found by Neil Wright just a few yards from the busy main track around the lake, this bird seemed oblivious to our presence.

More Bittern

3+ Bittern remain at Brogborough Lake. This one sneaked past the camera while a group of us watched another one on the ice, on the opposite bank from the gull-watch point. Booming fantastic :-)
