Love the shot of the Bittern! Never actually seen one!
Really like the shot of the bee too just unfortunate the poor thing is covered in mites!

Just looked at your site...fabulous!!

Thanks Michelle - Bitterns are doing better these days though still a nationally scarce bird - must be some in Lincs somewhere!

I'm not sure what effect the mites have on bees but they must be a nuisance - some may be more of a problem back in the bee's nest.

2 cracking shots Geoff, the bittern is top notch and they're certainly blend well into their environment.
