In the weekends cars are lined up in front of the reed beds where the Bittern hangs out. At least it did for a while. I certainly saw it flying here, but the waiting bird photographers didn't get what they wanted. It wasn't till most had left that a Peregrine Falcon flew by and flushed it out. Still, I didn't immediately understand what exactly had happened, my eyes could only follow one pair of wings. It was discovered, but not where everybody was looking...
Wow, too close! I have no room to withdraw. Staring at the intricate pattern of feathers I almost forgot how to take photos.
