Ten of us were on the Pirie Platform at about 9 a.m. [Saturday] when the American bittern popped out of the phragmites right in front of us.
At one point he was looking up at us looking down at him.
(Thanks, Paul!)
Just wondering: Could there still be more than one at the CF?
Hi Marianne,
Thank you very much. I was thinking the same thing as I looked at Jim’s flood pictures.

Hi Enid,
Thank you very much for your kind words.

Fantastic photos, thanks! You were lucky to be so close to the bird. Beautiful.
These are great pictures. What a beautiful looking bird. I wonder how the rainstorm will affect them.
