ISv said:Nice photos from every one! I'm jealous for Alan's European Bittern (First it's a difficult bird for photographing and second: here we very rarely have the American bittern, forget the Eurasian!) and the huge diversity that dpc is posting! Jack - I'm happy to see you are out with the camera, nice pics!
I didn't have the opportunity to get out today, instead I just re-developed some files from the last October. Just removed in DxO some unnecessary sharpening and contrast/microcontrast that are adding to the noise (and not very natural look, especially the microcontrast) in the photos.
(Riley - these are from Laniakea beach!)
High quality images!

Good shots snappy604! I practically never succeed when I'm with the entire family. If my wife is there - foooorget it 
!
And just few when only my daughter is with me, and only if she has her camera and is busy taking photos too - otherwise - NO WAY ;D!

My 2 new friends. I have named them Thanksgiving and Christmas.....
6D2 with a 70-200F4 IS.
They fly into the compound and once in, keep walking along the edge and can not figure out how to get out. the compound gate opens inwards and is open. They walk along the edge until they get to the open gate (inwards), then turn around and go back around to the other side of the gate and repeat the process. The are trapped in an open compound that they can walk out of or fly out of..... not exactly the smartest birds....

Having never got close to or taken a decent shot of a bittern until the last week, I can't believe my luck. Used the 5DIV + 400mm DO at 800mm. The large bird was fishing and caught a tiny fish and a baby pike.
