Once Bittern twice shy

A lazy start for me this morning as I had rare lay in and was not on the patch till 10 o'clock. First up was a Snipe going over the main car park I then walked to the small paddock and the Chaffinches,Jays and Black birds were mobbing a Little Owl in the far corner.A flock of 30 Redpoll went over east the biggest group I have had for five years. Then on to Berwick Ponds which is (permit only) and had two brief views of two Bitterns together in flight which were to quick for me to get any pictures of them. So here are so shots of some birds that were not that shy of the camera.........
