Which is the most difficult U.K bird to photograph?

I ponder the question of which is the most difficult bird to photograph in the U.K.

The Bittern used to be difficult, but today they get photographed at a number of U.K reserves, but I come up with four others that are common, but hard to get good images of. Jack snipe, Quail, Lesser whitethroat and Cettis warbler are all contenders.

The Bittern I filmed at the Lee Valley Country Park on the North side of London using the Lumix GH6 and the OM 150-400mm lens. It is a good place to see Bitterns, but it is a waiting game.
