On one of my photography trips to Vienna with Stefan I had the luck that I found a little bittern hunting for fish very close. This usual very shy bird wasn't shy at all and was hunting for fish at a park with a lot of people around - But as usual most of the people didn't even recognize the bird. Stefan and I were waiting at the Pond for hours and when the little bittern finally showed up we had the luck that we could take some very close up pictures of the bird when it was fishing in the pond.
