GND

19 Dec - I tried once more for photos of the GND in the afternoon light, this time it did not come so close but reasonable views in the afternoon as the sun was filtered out by high cloud. The bird is not particularly wary, but has the ability to move quite a distance when it dives so can be difficult to track. Also Water Rail and Kingfisher heard, and a flyover Snipe, but no sign of the Bittern.
