TITLE:
| Bittern walking across twig-strewn ground
|
INFO:
| Same day as previous image, a short while later, and the north Bittern put in an appearance, walking quite briskly across some open (though very twiggy) ground from the reedbeds to left of the north window and back towards his favoured fishing-spot behind the large tree, out of sight from the window....
Quite cropped in for this web image, from the vertical format capture (I was hoping he'd pause and stretch up!....). Just about fast enough shutter speed to arrest his movement."
February 2012 (Ivy North Hide)
