Oscar writes: The recent 4 or 5 days of cold weather in the UK saw me spend most of that time at my local nature reserve hoping to photograph Bitterns. Unfortunately I didn’t have much success, and one morning spent over 4 hours lying on the frozen ground hoping for this bird to come out into the open. Unfortunately it never did, but I did manage a couple of shots like this of it fishing behind a thin layer of reeds.
