Bittern at Kenfig Pool- last month sorry !


Hi all,

Ive only just discovered this blog so this photo is a little outdated, but hopefully youll still appreciate it. This lucky shot was taken on Sat 30th October at Kenfig Pool. I wasnt expecting much, and i had a rotten cold, but after only 20 minutes in the Arthur Morgan hide i snapped this beautiful bittern slowly walking from one reedbed to another. I was so chuffed with it, and have milked it for all its worth with birding / photography friends!!

Best wishes, Stuart

Hi Stuart - bitterns have not been easy to see this autumn so you did well. There is a Kenfig blog by the way if you have any pics in the future.

Well done some people have waited weeks over several winters and still failed to get shots at this site.
