CommentI was so lucky to have spotted this beautiful Bittern as we were driving beside a drainage ditch at the WTP. It was completely still in it's defensive upward pointing bill pose and blending nicely with surrounding reeds. It is definitely the closest I will ever get to this endangered and elusive species.
