Bittern, from the Ministry of Silly Walks

Due to the harsh winter, bitterns were forced to leave their hidings.
Sad for them, but a good opportunity for photographers....
This particular bittern was quite cooperative and gave me the chance to enjoy its interesting behaviour.
And when he tried to cross the slippery ice I was sure.....dinosaurs still exist! ;)

    Nice high key on the background and colors/details in the bird. Judging by the title you are a Monty Python fan :-) Posted 14 years ago
