Good afternoon all. This is just a quick note to say that the little bittern is back! It has been barking intermittently this afternoon and was seen at around 3.30pm. It is present in the part of the reserve that we know as "New Fen North triangle". This is between Mere Hide and Joist Fen viewpoint. Where the path splits just west of the track down to Mere Hide, take the right hand fork which goes alongside West Wood and listen in the reeds on the right. Please see the reserve map for more details. Lets hope it sticks around!
