A wonderful series of this beauriful bird. Ours here are not so intensely striped.
Superb shots of the bittern.
Awesome series! The big feet photo is my favorite.
Great photos! Now, if only I can “see” one for myself! I know, patience and perseverance. Thanks for sharing your photos with us.
Great shots. I’ve always loved these birds, although I’ve never seen one in “real” life.
Thanks for some great pictures . I will keep visiting your site.
