Bittern

'These great photos are ample reward for all the time and effort my volunteers put in to managing the reserve for the benefit of wildlife and visitors. This bittern was using an area of shallow water by the mere that we maintain precisely for this reason, although it is more often inhabited by water rails, snipe, and teal than a bittern!' Doug Radford (Fowlmere)
