Don't look now dear, but I think we are being watched. Ruddy humans!
Are you kidding? This thread is like the story of my bird-photography life! Too funny, thanks Lyceel.
I am as one with the reeds...

Nice Bittern! Where'd you find him?
I'll just hide behind this branch and let my natural camoflage do the rest...
Peek-a-boo, I see enough of you.
Come on mate they're coming, hurry! We have to bury our heads in a hole an hide.
You dumb bird. We're Emus, not Ostriches!
A VERY nice bittern actually, as eventually he came out of the reeds and let me get some good (for me) pics, and a couple in flight too, which was a first. This was taken at what used to be called Viero Wetlands. They have recently changed the name, but an awesome place to go-even better than Wakodahatchee (which I didn't think possible). No boardwalk, you can either drive through or walk. I can give you directions if you want.
Everyone under on the count of three. One, two, three - hide!
