What chance have the fish got??126 viewsbarely discernable - but there are two Bitterns & two Great Crested Grebes in this shot - looks like the fish @ Mere Sands Wood are in for a tough time!

Bittern289 viewsthis was easily my closest sighting of a Bittern at Marton Mere, but sadly there was half a reedbed between me & it & I was shooting directly into the sun. Still, despite the poor photos, it was a thrilling sighting.

Bittern Botaurus stellaris Marton Mere nature reserve Blackpool294 viewsthis was easily my closest sighting of a Bittern at Marton Mere, but sadly there was half a reedbed between me & it & I was shooting directly into the sun. For this shot the bird lept up off the ice & into the reeds with a couple of flaps of its wings, it then dropped down again & melted away into the reeds.

Bittern179 viewsI'd just been photographing a Kingfisher where the channel crosses the causeway at Leighton Moss when I suddenly realised there was also a Bittern sat there in full view. It's a shame the Kingfisher didn't fly up & land on it's beak, now that would've been a good shot :-) .
