The Bittern was seen in flight at 1810 on Sun 1st, & at 1705 on Mon 2nd Mar.
We didn't visit last night due to the weather!
The bird seems to be living in the area of reed-bed in front of kingfisher hide. This part of the reed-bed is not tidal, & has a nice fairly open channel through it(not visible) which we created last summer to enable us to ring in the reeds, where I think it likes to feed!
The bird I believe has only been seen in flight.
If having a visit, then the Cattle Egret at Newport is worth putting on the agenda! (see PembsBirds)
The Cettis' have survived the winter so far.... at least a couple singing in the vicinity of the Bittern, & c3 more around the reserve.
