Did you know the female Bittern can hear the male’s mating call from up to 3 km away? Let us know if you’ve heard any booming Bitterns at RSPB Leighton Moss or your local reserve!

Bitterns, the loudest bird in the UK, have made a remarkable 'boom' back from the brink. All thanks to dedicated RSPB-led research and conservation. They were heard 'booming' from 11 new sites in 2023, an amazing step towards the birds recovery across the country. Bitterns can occasionally be spotted moving among the reeds at the water’s edge seeking out fish, insects, and amphibians to eat. Rejuvenating, managing, and creating wetland habitats has been vital to their recent success, including a

Keagan John Mason on Instagram: "Most people reckon birds migrate thousands of kilometres… but this sneaky wetland legend doesn’t bother. Instead, the Australasian bittern quietly rotates between wetlands, choosing spots based on water depth and cover. Same bird, different swamp. That’s why one place can feel empty for years… then suddenly come alive with that deep booming call. Pure bush magic. If you enjoy these quiet moments from the wild, give the page a follow 🌿 #facts #learning #DidYouKno
