2022 is off with a BOOM for this bittern! In December, a male Australasian Bittern known as “Bushy” was the first of his species in WA to be fitted with a solar-powered transmitter to track his movements. Australasian Bitterns are Endangered. Despite their far-carrying booming calls, these bitterns are incredibly cryptic and difficult to observe – meaning there’s a lot we don’t know about them. But Bushy is helping change that – providing Parks and Wildlife Service, Western Australia and BirdLif

Bitterns are large and secretive birds that live amongst the reeds, they are often very hard to spot spending most of their time hidden away feeding on fish, amphibians and insects. Males can occasionally be heard making a far-reaching booming sound during the breeding season. 😍 🎥 Steve Everett #winterwatch | BBC Springwatch

American Bittern Botaurus lentiginosus In this video we see the sharp-eyed bittern stealthily stalking along the water’s edge and sneaking around a clump of tall grass in search of prey. We are rewarded by finally seeing it capture a rather large crayfish, Cambarus ssp., which it downs in a couple of gulps. Male bitterns are known for their loud booming calls that reverberate around the marshes of their northern breeding and nesting grounds in the spring, where they are more likely to be heard t

Booming brilliant ✨ Ahead of #WorldWetlandsDay we're celebrating the elusive Bittern. This secretive and iconic species relies on wetlands to feed and nest. Famous for the male's booming call, they were once on the brink of disappearing in the UK ⏳ Thanks to ongoing conservation work to restore and create vital wetland habitat at RSPB Middleton Lakes and other places, Bitterns are bouncing back in the midlands. In 2024, at least three young Bitterns fledged at RSPB Middleton Lakes! They also had

Thanks to conservation work, record numbers of bitterns have been recorded - in part thanks to work at RPSB sites in Suffolk and Cambridgeshire. At RSPB Lakenheath Fen in Suffolk, they have had great success - smashing their previous record of 12 booming male bitterns - they have recorded 17 this year. | ITV Anglia

Eight Bitterns booming 📣 Thanks to large scale conservation work - Bitterns are back from the brink. From just 11 booming males in 1997, to over 234 booming males in 2023, Bitterns are booming brilliant! Due to their ‘cryptic’ camouflage and stealth through the reedbeds, Bitterns are considered highly elusive. Counting the number of booming males in the spring is the best way to find out just how many there are. The booming noise which sounds like someone blowing across a milk bottle top is the
