Bittern.
A rare trip out of the
reed beds.

For the first time in half a century the boom of a breeding male bittern, one of the UK's most endangered breeding birds, is back at a Norfolk nature reserve.

The rare and shy bird is calling for a mate at the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds' Strumpshaw Fen in the Yare Valley where the last record of bittern breeding was reported by the naturalist and broadcaster Ted Ellis in the 1950s.
