Although I haven't been fortunate enough to see a bittern, they have the most amazing camouflage. Great shots.

I have at lest seen a bittern, but I was so amazed at being able to watch it I never even thought of taking a photo. Next time maybe... |

Hi Gaina,
I wasn't there at the weekend but I've been before and I love it there. I think that might be a cape shelduck, or possibly a new zealand shelduck, but I know it's some variety of shelduck!

Guy | Thanks guy! Yep, I tried google images with your two suggestions and it's a cape shelduck. Lovely little things

Managed to sneak up to Slimbridge for a couple of hours this afternoon 
The Bittern was showing well and I shot a whole 2Gb card of it. I have just posted one shot in the Gallery and will put up another shortly of a very cheeky little Robin who must think he is human, judging by how close he came to me and three other luck snappers. |

Thanks Gaina for the taste of Slimbridge (and possibly the smell). I last went there about 30 years ago. However, next month we are to stay in Bristol with our son and his fiancee and have agreed a visit to Slimbridge. Looking forward to this very much - hoping for all sorts of nice things.
