Taken on 30/04/2011
Having got 4 hours sleep in the back of the car and getting up at first light, I was rewarded by my first ever sighting of a bittern 8 hours later. I had heard them booming most of the day and then this one broke cover from the reed bed. I was on continuous shutter and panned for a series of shots but most of the others were slightly out of focus. This was the best I could manage but still very excited about seeing one for the first time. To cap the day, I saw my first otter in the wild as well!
