Which is a bit larger than the Least Bittern

Nice shot, with the context including reeds of the sort the bittern uses for disguise.

I worked it a bit more to show more of the bird, less of his surroundings, but you are quite correct in how well one of these guys blends in with his surroundings. I had to look twice after I first caught a glimpse of a movement in the water's reeds before realizing there was a bird there. Like most predatory waterfowl, stealth and disguise are it's best allies.

Nice shot!
And yeah, these birds are very stealthy despite their size.

The DOF highlights are cool in the BG, nice bird to.

The 80-400 coupled to the D810 is a sweet piece of glass. I love the bokeh it creates at each f/stop.

This makes me want to sell my 70-200 and get that 80-400.

I've never looked back after selling my 70-200 for the 80-400. I liked the 2.8 the 70-200 offers, but I like the extra 200mm's with the 80-400. Coupled with a 1.4 teleconverter, gives it a sharp 560mm.
