That's a real beauty of a normally secretive bird. You are doing very well with him. In my opinion this is your best shot of your nice series, and a very fine image including the birds habitat. Terrific shot.

So nice to get him in the open and in front of all the reeds. I like being able to see how the feet are grasping on to the reeds. Good alert pose.

Great-looking bird and I like that you got this unobstructed view.
