Great images of this beauty, Rob. He does seem to smile!

Yellow Bittern. This bird was difficult as, although quite close, it was always partly in shade.

Looks familiar. Always tricky. But you got him!

Oh, he wasn't difficult to get. I took loads of shots, but they were difficult to process because of the very bright sun and deep shadows. I spent some time waiting for the bird to come a bit more into the open, but it never did. This shot was the least unsatisfactory. At least his eye isn't in shadow here.
