RSPB volunteer Steve Everett captured the rare bird walking slowly across a frozen lake.
An amateur photographer said watching BBC TV as his film of a bittern was used to openSteve Everett captured the bird picking its way carefully across a frozen reedbed atThe RSPB volunteer, from Felixstowe, had never seen a bittern walking on ice before and "had to get it on video".
Mr Everett said he was in a hide with a group of photographers at the coastal reserve near Sizewell when "this bittern just walked out from the reedbed". "It's always exciting when they just come out into the open, but it then just wandered about, it was shivering - it was obviously looking for somewhere to fish because everywhere was frozen," he said.
"It was sliding about and you just knew that was something you had to get on video because it was just a classic moment."
