| Remarks : | This Yellow Bittern was foraging for dinner just before dusk and managed to catch a few aquatic vertebrates that looked liked small prawns at the water's edge. I thought the background reflection of the water's surface nicely portrayed the bird and hunting scenario and mood in the late evening before sunset. - MC |
