I put my head back into reception and told them, all sorts of action broke out. There were people rushing to get telescopes and cameras!It stayed there perched in the reeds and swaying in the wind for a while. 20 minutes maybe longer.There’s a crowd gathered now (about 10 including me and Bee)2/5

Eco LokiPremière rencontre (surprise) avec un blongios nain. Alors que j'avais déjà passé une matinée bien chargée en Brenne, avec de belles observations, un oiseau a décidé de clôturer le spectacle en beauté. Je n'avais encore jamais vu de blongios et c'est en regardant mes photos que j'ai compris que l'oiseau en vol qui venait de traverser l'étang en était un. Un gros coup de bol (mais qui aurait été difficile à saisir sans l'auto focus de mon appareil photo). Me voilà requinqué pour au moins... 1 journée.

Stu BaconJust as I finished taking some photos of the Kingfisher a pair of Bittern took flight!It was amazing to see them and we were so happy to finally catch sight of them, we’d visited wetlands and fens for a couple of years even hearing them boom but not seeing them.In all the excitement I forgot to raise my shutter speed so there’s not many clear photos of them but these two turned out ok.<a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Bird" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Bird</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Birding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Birding</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Wildlife</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Nature</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/UK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UK</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Photography</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/WildlifePhotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WildlifePhotography</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/NaturePhotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NaturePhotography</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/BirdsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BirdsOfMastodon</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Darktable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Darktable</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Norfolk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Norfolk</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/RSPB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RSPB</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Bittern" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Bittern</a>

WonsingtonFEATHRUARY 2025 Prompt 4: Camo -> American Bittern Huh, why did I post an empty canvas today? Oh, no no, it's not empty at all! If you look veeery closely, you can see the elusive American Bittern, an expert in camouflage. You've probably never seen one because these bois hide like there's annoying relatives coming over for the holidays. All jokes aside, if you live in Canada or the Northern US, chances are you have come across one of those cuties. It inhabits marshes, lakes and ponds, where it likes to live by itself and to spend its time foraging for fish, crustaceans and insects. Compared to the European Bittern, this fella is slightly smaller and its plumage is speckled, not barred. Its size is just between the regular and the mini blahaj, its weight is about as much as your average pack of flour. FUN FACT The American Bittern has obtained many nicknames, including but not limited to: Bog Bumper, Stake Driver, Thunder Pumper, Bog Bull, Bog Thumper, Mire Drum and Water Belcher (which is the nickname I, too, shall claim for myself.) <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/feathruary?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#feathruary</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/feathruary2025?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#feathruary2025</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/bird?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bird</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/birds?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#birds</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/birb?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#birb</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/birbs?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#birbs</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/birdart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#birdart</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/digitalart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#digitalart</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/drawing?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#drawing</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/bittern?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bittern</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/bitterns?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bitterns</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/americanbittern?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#americanbittern</a>
