During the Sunday bird walk we lingered at Bittern hide, counting ducks, Snipe, enjoying the autumn colours, etc. I kept panning back to the middle left hand side of the main island reed bed, thinking "that clump of Phragmites looks really like it has had a Bittern stood on it". I never mentioned it, so anyone reading this will just have to believe me.
So when Tim Alexander texted to say "Bittern at Teal scrape" I was not at all surprised, I hope I get to see this bird. It was species 89 for October, matching 2014.
With Yellow-browed Warblers either side of Berkshire, will someone find one at DP very soon?
