Of course the bird many go to see at Minsmere is the Bittern. This is a typical view.

And then again you can get very lucky with the Bittern. I make no apologies for the number of images.
As we walked about to the visitors centre a Nightingale sang out and we could hear a Bittern boom lovely.
Exellent day in great company Pete :)
