Eurasian Bittern / botaurus stellaris. Minsmere, Suffolk. 12/11/18. With huge feet gripping reeds that it had flattened directly above the water, the Bittern peered down intently. This appeared to be a favoured perch from which to spy food, although during the two days I was there, it never struck lucky from this exact spot.!

Stocky, brown heron found in extensive reedbeds; typically very secretive. Seen mainly as single birds in flight, especially early and late in the day. Stealthy and easily overlooked; cryptic plumage blends well with reeds. Note tawny-brown face and neck, blackish cap, streaked upperparts. Bizarre
Species accounts for all the birds of the world.
