Bittern, poor pics but still a Bittern

[madmitch]

600mm, huge crops and really bad PP.

Second time i've seen the Bittern at Strumpshaw Fen both times at distance, poor shots i know but i'm still pleased just to get the shots.

I'd be pleased to just hear one never mind see or photograph one. Nice try.

Ah! so thats what one looks like!

Well done.

Met a chap at a game fair last week who told me of a hide where he said he see these regularly ... pity I dont have the lenses to make it worth a visit!

Well you got it Mitch, looks a long way off in the distance. Well done

 

[Keltic Ice Man]

WELL DONE

Seeing one is like a dream. They are wonderful

Its rare to see one.... and rarer still to have a camera pointing the right way

Ooooh

Nice record shots of a rarely seen bird

 

[PIKEMAN]

As said above any shot of this rare bird is a good one
Was lucky last year to see one at slimbridge, a beautiful sight indeed .

I'm not sure there's any such thing as a 'poor' Bittern shot.

You are getting some unique shots just lately Mitch.

Keep up the sterling work..

 

[Messiah Khan]

Not too shabby those Mitch. Better than my Bittern attempt;

Thanks everyone. I bet if i buy the 600mm none of this wildlife will come out to play.
