A couple of weeks ago I went to Mere Sands Wood and I sat for what seemed like ages to catch a glimpse of the elusive bittern which has taken up residency on the reserve. I had a really lovely time and no doubt I will go back for a similarly good time but sadly on that occasion I didn't get to see the bittern.
Last weekend when I went to Chester Zoo I was lucky enough to see and photograph this beautiful Sunbittern from South America. It was lovely to be able to get so close to see the stunning plumage. I really love the intensity of the expression as it searches the pool for a tasty treat.
