In the morning of my visit to Minsmere RSPB Reserve in May, I saw one of the reserves iconic birds, a Bittern flying at some distance over reed beds. I knew the image would be poor, and hoped for better views later.
Come the early evening I had worked my way round the reserve and came to a hide overlooking the extensive reedbeds. A Bittern was heard Booming nearby and eventually I got a view of this male Bittern fishing in reeds about 40m away.
Also seen was this female Reed Bunting which stayed long enough at the edge of the reeds to give some clear unobstructed views.
