Bitternly delight

It was a glorious if bloody cold day today, with temperatures barely above freezing.
Late this afternoon I decided to head out to Far Ings again to see if I could spot a kingfisher and if not maybe see the murmuration again.

I didn't see a kingfisher - however I DID see a very rare bittern. the shot is crap but had to be quick off the mark. More so because it wasn't me that spotted it, but I reacted quickly when a woman sat near me in the hide squealed 'bittern'. I got two shots - one was really crap and the other here just crap but its a shot.
I di get some cracking shots of flying curlew which i have put here
