As I suspected, it was a #Bittern holding onto bunches of reeds up above the water line.
I put my head back into reception and told them, all sorts of action broke out. There were people rushing to get telescopes and cameras!
It stayed there perched in the reeds and swaying in the wind for a while. 20 minutes maybe longer.
There’s a crowd gathered now (about 10 including me and Bee)
