I got so excited when I saw this huge bittern that I concentrated on shooting stills, which in itself was tough to do given the bird's shyness and great distance.
As an afterthought, I sneaked in a solitary clip and it turned out shaky because I was using a bean bag. But heck, it's the only footage of this bird filmed in-habitat in our islands that I know of.
;D
