Can you see it? A yellow bittern hides among the reeds in a swampy landscape in India. Scroll down for the answer 

The slender bird has evolved so well to its environment that it can easily be missed among the thousands of dry reed shoots surrounding it. 

Ms Sinha, a conservation biologist from India, said: 'The bird was so incredibly camouflaged, a work of art really. Bitterns have a survival tactic of staying very still.

'It was so still that I was pinching myself to believe it was really a bird and not a reed I was looking at.

'It has evolved to be in this reedy, swampy landscape mostly undetected.' 

She took the pictures near the village of Mangalajodi while passing on a small rowing boat on the water. 

The 34-year-old continued: 'Mangalajodi has a succesful community eco tourism model. This is meant to be low-impact, which means that small boats are rowed manually. 

'You have to take your shots under these conditions, and the heat is intense.All of this is to avoid disturbance to the birds as they rest, feed and forage.

'These are great rules, and they shouldn't change; the photographer should adapt.' 

Revealed: The bittern is hiding in the foreground of the picture. The slender bird has evolved so well to its environment that it can easily be missed among the thousands of dry reed shoots surrounding it

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
