A fine shot of the Yellow Bittern landing, especially if the light was poor

All good shots, akhan. Your gearing esp 600/4 also helped alot.
Did you see them in the Park's "Mud Flat" area?

K_Chan,
Thanks a lot for viewing and kind words of appreciation. I agree with you 600 helped me a lot, as it is a fact that in most of the cases in bird photography one is benefited from long reach. Yes,all the birds mentioned above were seen at mud flat.
