Bitterns at Fishers Green


The Bitterns at Fishers Green have been showing well over the past couple of weeks. Their are 3 Bitterns regularly showing themselsves and on a recent count 4 have been seen. They are often seen from the Bittern watch point and have been seen in the reed beds around the seventy acre lake, and I have been told that they have been making their distinctive booming call.




This Bittern hase managed to catch itself a small pike (8 inches) and after about 15 miutes manages to swollow it.

Bitterns are well camouflaged when in the reed beds, but patience will be rewarded.
