[IraRunyan]

To my surprise, this Least Bittern came out in the open in early morning light.

What Harry said.. Excellent indeed. I have never see one, but I have heard them rustling around. What a great find!

Cheers

Wow. What a catch! These are terrific! Great light and great, clear details, too.

certainly that's a better look at any of these guys than i have ever seen. But just so you know, all of them do look a little "hot" on my screen. Still, very nice to look at. Regards...Keith
