    Excellent couple of shots! How far away from each other were they?

    I love that second shot in particular, Ann!

    If I were the Cygnet, I'd think twice before confronting that beak!

    when the cygnet was within a few feet of it, the heron spooked - I was talking to another togger today as we discussed the water situation and the Bittern was apparently seen from Lavell's across in the reeds until some work was in progress and it probably frightened the Bittern away
