One of the contractor road vehicles was driving up the westside wetland track this afternoon, with staff aboard, and flushed a bittern mooching in reedbeds in the grassland area.
It flew off towards the river and one of the staff said " It was so close – I've never seen one that near before. It was huge."
Thanks to Cornwall Birdwatching (cbwps), taken at RSPB Marazion Marsh, for this picture.
"It was that close"
I wish i had been there to see the bittern.
