Eurasian Bittern Botaurus stellaris (80)
IUCN Red list status: Least Concern
(Roerdomp)
Experiences with species

The Bittern is a bird on just about everyone's "want to see" list. I'd tried two dedicated trips to look for it, and been in its habitat a few more times than that. It was being seen quite regularly, not too far from Inharrime, so when a long weekend came along, what better excuse could be needed to go Bittern hunting!

Other names: Great Bittern
