(delhibirdpix) Great Bittern 03 ( Dighal, Haryana)

Species : Great Bittern
Place : Dighal, Haryana, India
Date : 28 February 2014


Soon after Manoj Sharma ( and Gunjan)  gave us the update that they had spotted two of these star birds, we decided to try our luck and reached the spot, accompanied by Sanjay and Rakesh. Ananda and Debasis were already there patiently waiting for the bird to come out of the reeds.  After an hour or so, around 1.00 pm, it started pouring heavily and we were able to see the movement of the bird in the reed bed. We only got the glimpses of its "stand still" neck. When the rain subsided, the bird came out, preened itself,  took off and landed some meters away, close to another bird. We could see both the birds, again only neck up. After sometime, one of them sort of leaped out and landed in front of us, giving an opportunity to click some shots. 

We saw three birds in total in the area.
