Least Bittern

[Jose Suro]

Another capture from my trip last week. I wanted Bitterns most of all and was lucky to get them both. Shot this in very late evening light.

Thanks for looking.

Best,

Jose

Great light, composition and details, the habitat adds to it. I only wish for a bit more head turn toward you but like it as is.

Great image! The background distracts me a bit, but thats is with the bitterns.

There is a lot to like in this image. I like the BG as it adds a sense of place. I also like the way the brown reeds / grass go so nicely with the color of the bird.
