    Nice one Andy. I thought that was going to be a difficult shot to get, but you nailed it!

    Just seen the photo of the bittern in the reeds. Are you sure there are not TWO there. Occurs to me it may explain the 'booming' and the 'lap of honour' around the pond!

    No Roger, the bird in the reeds is the one that flew the late lap, and I suggest the one that I photographed flying into that patch of reads. Please note, the Bittern was NOT booming, at this time of year they sometimes utter a call not unlik a heron's. Andy

    Sorry if I implied that Andrew said he heard the Bittern booming. He did say he heard it and I assumed (wrongly) that it was booming.
