Just a quick bit of good news from yesterday for anyone who doesn't follow our Twitter or Facebook accounts....for the first time in 3 years, we have been able to confirm 2 bitterns on site. Both birds were in Phase 2 yesterday morning - one flying around and eventually settling in reeds and the other sitting in classic bittern pose, with it's neck outstretched upwards. One bird was particularly mobile, so look out for them as they move around the site.
With plenty of sightings from the reed fringe by the dipping platform and the northern most silt lagoon (from the public footpath) recently, there is always a chance of getting lucky - and that chance is now doubled! Please do let us know of any sightings.
