Julian (and others)

When I first saw Christine's photos I wondered if the Saturday bird was a male and yesterday's a female. The references I have looked at (Pizzey and Knight, HANZAB) show the juveniles etc to be rather more striated than either of the images.

Thanks for posting these Christine – clearly confirms there have been at least two Little Bitterns at that interesting pond. As we discussed were saying yesterday the bird we were looking at was definitely not in adult plumage.

Here are two photos I have taken at McKellar. The first was taken on Saturday, and the second yesterday (Wednesday). Please excuse the poor quality of the photos.
