This Bittern has a part time job as a model! We turned up at Leighton Moss and sat down to watch him immediately walk around for us! :-) Never seen one up close since!



Pauline, you sort me out with your Egret model and I'll have a word with the Bittern ;-)



Thanks for the kind comments.

Stu.

Wish I could if you mean that Great White that came to Astley Stu?! Haven't heard anyone talk about it for a while so I'm assuming its moved on......... it took 5 visits to get anywhere near it - and the number of years now that I've been going to LM and sitting in Grizedale and Jackson and just hoping .... ah well - all adds to the spice I suppose!
