Observation details
Well!! There was a real sense of inevitability as I made my way around to the dam wall... and very soon, to my perpetual excitement and instinctual surprise, one of the Bitterns leapt up from, once again, from surprisingly far back from the waters edge!!! And yes, it was just as unhurried and languid as last night, leading to some fantastic views and nice photos... even though it eventually settled down in the thicker reed-beds where getting a closer look was impossible, and the other two from last night didn't show up, I was still delighted with this particularly handsome, mysterious creature!!
