The Elusive Bittern at Leighton Moss RSPB

20th November 2011

I went to Leighton Moss RSPB yesterday, 19th November 2011. I got there at 6.55am and went straight to the Lower Hide. I sat there for 3 hours and it paid off. 3 Bittern flew in from my left to my absolute surprise as I have been going there for the past 5 years and have never seen a Bittern, I have only heard one booming down the causeway. All 3 landed in different place and then all of them dissappeared into the reeds. But one came out of the reeds and started walking towards the hide I was in to the disbelief of everyone now inside the hide. I took a sequence of photographs which you can see here.
