In search of a Bittern...

For many years I have been trying to see and even better photograph a Bittern..... the birders out there will know how annoying it is to turn up in a hide only to be told 'you should have been here a few minutes ago' well this has happened to me numerous times, and it has always involved Bitterns. I was determined this year that I would nail this bogey bird, and after hearing they were showing well at Meresands Wood, I made the trip and the bird gods were looking after me, seeing not one but two great Bitterns, they were some way from the hide, but nevertheless I did it!!!
