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.
