This morning Dave (Site Manger) saw a bittern take off from an area of Longrock Pool which has recently been cleared of willow and poached up by the volunteers walking over the wet, muddy ground. It is fantastic to see such quick results from the habitat management, no sooner have the volunteers and I finished work and moved away from a site then a bittern starts using the area to feed on frogs, toads and other yummy creatures. The bittern have been seen most days this week and we are all hoping that they might stay and breed this summer so if you hear them booming in the evening please let us know.
