Bittern or Roerdomp, as we call them in Dutch. I am really proud on this shot, because they are very rare to spot in Holland.

Thank you! E.J. to answer your question if I shot them in the wild. Yes and no. I shot them in a pond near to that farm house that keeps al kind of birds. Remember that mandarin duck?
However, these Bittern are definitely wild, but attracted to all the others birds. They probably use the place like a Mc Drive...

MY PHOTOGRAFIC VISION...
I am not an artist, I only let you see with my eyes...!
You should be darn proud. It would make for a great Wildlife magazine cover. Perfect clarity, color, pose and setting. You have been putting out some fantastic photos lately.

A mistreated dog should try to leave a deposit on their masters best carpet, after all it's important to establish who's boss ... My gallery is here.

Hey Paul,
A truly beautiful shot. In the United States we would call
them immature Black Crown Night Herons. Google Bittern and
then Google Black Crown Night Heron. Wikkipedia has the best
picture of the immature bird. Still, a very nice shot.
