This is the only Least Bittern I have photographed in my life. This is the smallest member of the heron family, and its conservation status is of Least Concern. Bosque del Apache, New Mexico. For the #least theme of #BirdOfTheDay #EastCoastKin #birds

My contribution to #StunDay is a set of Angel Wings from an elusive Bittern playing Hide & Seek with me, teasing me with it's location then just disappearing just as fast.

It was definitely swampy underfoot, but this 🪶American Bittern shot from 2013 nicely fits today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme of #BirdsOnTheGround

The booming Bittern is an elusive bird.
Leslie Cater's passion for birdwatching the UK's loudest bird was rewarded by a rarely seen courtship dance.

Hidden wonders: my fascinating encounters with the Bittern
Elusive and majestic, the Bittern’s booming call echoes across Minsmere’s reeds – a symbol of hope and conservation success

My one and only sighting of a Eurasian Bittern, a bird that's normally hidden in the reeds, I was very fortunate in seeing it fly past the hide at RSPB Lakenheath Fen

The image captures a Bittern in flight against a pale blue sky. The bird displays its cryptic, patterned brown and black plumage across its body and broad wings. Its head is held forward, showing a long, sharp bill. Talons are visible beneath its body.

A big surprise on Saturday was a Bittern appearing at Inch Island, Donegal. I had just started sketching an American Golden Plover when the Bittern flew in and landed infornt of us. Although typically skulky, it was on show regularly until darkness allowing some sketching.

The American Bittern is a bird that I have on only one day several summers ago the opportunity to photograph. They are usually well hidden amongst the reeds.

CHL. Bittern on its raptor watch.
Saw one here in flight on 4th Sept & wondered if it was a one-off.
Imagine my delight walking onto the bank at sunrise this morning to find it feeding on frogs on the far bank.
c.700 Starlings leaving roost, now 6 Goldeneye / 10 Goosanders.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is all about #CloseUps of any bird, and the Alternative Birds are Blue Tits or Great Tits.
I've gone with a Great Egret, Grey Heron, Bittern & Kingfisher for my #CloseUps.

Minsmere was surprisingly quiet today but did still get good views of Water Pipit, plus Bittern, 5 Eider heading South offshore, Brambling, Marsh Tits, Bearded Reedlings, Kingfishers, and Grey Seals! #Birds #Birding #SuffolkBirding

Headed out to RSPB Ouse Fen last night to catch up with friends and watch the starlings congregate for murmuration.
Saw bittern and marsh harriers. Such a beautiful spot.

Time to show off some of the Bittern & Kingfisher captures from RSPB Minsmere, and seeing that they blend right in to today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #LongBeaks there is no better place to post them.

Good morning. According to @alan678.bsky.social, the #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #rock meaning any bird perched on a rock. This American Bittern is not perched but it’s walking across rocks.
