Summary: 
An extremely elusive bird, the Bittern, known for its booming calls and expert camouflage has been spotted at Essex Wildlife Trust’s Blue House Farm nature reserve.

Well renowned for their perfectly camouflaged plumage making them extremely difficult to see, an individual has been spotted along the reedbed at our Blue House Farm nature reserve in North Fambridge.

The Bittern is a secretive bird that silently lurks along reedbeds on the lookout for food. Part of the Heron family, these birds can stand perfectly still and when alarmed they will raise their heads so they expertly blend in with their surroundings.
