Bittern Seen at WWT Slimbridge

Another good weather day today except it was bitter cold sitting in bird hides all day. It was worth it though, we got some good views of not one but two bitterns at the Zeus hide. I managed to capture the second on video. If it wasn't for the noisy click click click click click of the cameras with massive lenses then we may have seen a bit more of the bittern but instead it was scared back into the cover of the reeds.

Back at the campsite in Herman the Hymer, we run out of gas (always happens at night while your making the dinner) but this is good because it allowed us to switch to the refillable gas system that I fitted over Christmas. No more buying expensive gas bottles.
