Little Bittern/Dvärgrördrom

Ixobrychus minutus




Immature Little Bittern at Bredmar, Landsort, Sörmland, Sweden
Oct 21, 2002
Initially flushed in the afternoon, a small group of birders were forntunate
enough to relocate the bird just before dusk when it climbed a willow bush. It then
flew to some alder trees, where it was seen and photographed at close range until
after dark.
