For those who have many watchers, and for those who don’t have many, it is hard to know how one retains that interest as well as receive more. This article explores the basics of watchers and how we react to certain situations. Although it does not affect some deviants, and the tips are generally related to common sense, we hope the article is a worthwhile read and that the majority learn something from reading this.

Artist's Comments
After four what seemed like never ending hours, Phil spotted the elusive and very well camouflaged Great Bittern in the reedbed!
Now... Can you? If you take into account that I've used a 300mm lens and a 2X teleconverter making this shot roughly twelve times magnification, you can see how hard these shy birds are to spot. Shortly after firing off about sixty shots it swam out a little way and was then mobbed by about twenty birds mainly Gulls and Ravens, it took off and I missed the in-flight shot!!! Comments
 I see it although if I wasn't specifically looking for it I doubt I world have found it. This being a crop of the entire area helps too.
-- Well you’ve certainly stumped the Gardeners Question Time Panel. None of us know how to bring a Fox to orgasm.  We see the bird
 . What a nice mimicra effect  (Not advanced) (As ever ) That is superb camouflage ! well spotted.
-- Member of *WildlifeUK, =wildlifephotography, =Birds-Club and *Macro-Beginners-Club  Very cool! Perhaps next time don't center him, it might make it more of a challenge to find him? Awesome shot either way though, you definitely don't see to many photos of bitterns!
 -- You must be the change you wish to see in the world.  Nice. good eyes to spot this guy in that cover.
 Flippin eck, that's camoflague for ya! Well done you for spotting him!
 Glad you've got eyes Squire, great camouflage
-- Worse Case Scenario for the   "He who could do little, did nothing." Eugene Odum  Amazing camouflage. Beautiful shot.
-- ~*~ Mallows will fly.~*~  Awesome work Jai! Well worth the wait. I've never seen one myself (not surprising with that camoflage!!)
