bittern in flight (lifer)

[the black fox]

not the best of shots ,never even got a focus lock on , but the first time I have ever seen a bittern let alone got a shot of one in flight .. so pleased I am Yoda style .. it is what it is a happy daze record shot

The feeling is beyond words isn't it similar circumstances here early this year only I didn't have to wait quite so long as you. . Bitterns are just special to some of us Jeff,maybe it's the times and places we grew up in, I dunno,but huge grats sometimes a happy days shot is more than enough
