little bittern

There was a little bittern in hertfordshire, stockers lake . I was in oxfordshire working so on my way home from work i stopped off and with 20 birders pinning this bird down to a small bunch of reeds I was in with a good chance . My luck was in after thirty minutes it showed but no camera which was a shame but can't complain ! another lifer for for me but would have stopped off to see any way what a cracking bird .
