[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This picture with the little bittern in Greece was also take straight from the car window. It didn't seem to be shy at all. In fact I was waiting for the crakes when it popped up out of the reeds less then 3 meters away from. I had been standing there for 30 minutes or so, and had no idea it was there. I had to zoom all the way out in order to capture it whole.

Hallo Jeroen,
Onvoorstelbaar dat een Woudaapje zich zo goed kan camoufleren. Erg mooie foto waarbij de ogen de meeste aandacht trekken. Goede natuurlijke kleuren en uitstekende scherpte. Natuurlijk is de omgeving druk, maar dat hoort bij deze vogel.
Groet,
Peter

Excellent capture, very sharp details, nice colors and light,
TFS and regards,
Nikos.

Hi Jeroen. You had some good luck on your trip to Greece. You have taken such a fine close up from your car. The detail in this Little Bittern is very good indeed , with natural looking colours. well done TFS.
Nick..

Hi,
Another evidence that a car is a perfect way to approch wild birds. For sure, this bird did not notice your presence. Impressive!
Catherine

nice capture, but not sharp enough, TFS Ori
