A Photographic Journal
I have been trying to see this bird, a Eurasian (great) bittern (Botaurus stellaris) for a long time. I finally spotted it, and what a peculiar looking bird. It is really hard to spot it when it sits perfectly still between the reeds. I heard it before I spotted it. It had a unique sound, kinda like when blowing in a bottle, but very loud.
..oh and Rørdrum is the danish name for this bird 🙂
It is always fascinating to see a fox hunting for small rodents. You can tell immediately when they found one. They freeze up for a moment and turn their ears in the direction of their prey. And they get a very determined expression. Moments later, they jump high in the air and lands upon the place they think the prey is located. In most cases (that I have seen), the attack is successful.

Shouldn’t be to hard, should it?
The Dove is made by my daughter. We hung up outside by the driveway, so that everyone passing by would see it.
