Bittern, Far Ings NNR, Lincs

A Rudd for lunch is served !  




We thought there was another bittern in the reedbed as is bird appeared to display to it 

Fishing 



Lots of displaying going on

An excellent couple of hours in the packed hide at Far Ings. Pleased we got an upstairs seat as most folk in the hide failed to see this bittern at the bottom of the channel. It fished for ages before striking lucky with a rudd which it downed in one. It continued to fish without any more luck before displaying to what we thought was another bittern hidden in the reedbed. It eventually crossed the channel and disappeared into the reedbed. Fabulous !
