At last! I have seen a Bittern. Previously I have driven all over in hope of seeing one of these but this time one turned up practically on my doorstep at Watermead Country Park. So with camera in hand I went out in search of this illusive creature. At the hide where it had been reported there was a pile of dead fish, but no sign of the bird itself. So I wandered around the other hides before returning one last time to the crake hide. There it was! Stalking through the reads very close to the hide.
The Bittern appears.
These three frames were grabbed from the video below.The location of the Bittern was by the 2km waymarker on the following map.
And just in case you fancy flying around the route here is a google fly around.
