Rainstorm over the reedbeds

The rain doesn't seem to put off the male bitterns from their early morning booming! It's always an eerie sound, but when Ham Wall RSPB is deserted apart from me in the early hours the booms seem to echo all around in an almost menacing way!

Beautiful scene.
Didn't know 'bitterns'. Still learning new words. Btw. The Dutch word for a 'bittern' is 'roerdomp'.

@gijsje I just love the name roerdomp... It actually sounds a bit like the "boom" makes!
