 The Bitterns
Bitterns are less well known than Herons and Egrets because they are secretive birds living mainly in reed beds where they feed on eels, fish and insects.
The Eurasian Bittern is a partial migrant in Britain where it has suffered considerable decline in numbers in the last 200 years due to extensive habitat destruction.
The European Bittern builds its nest about water level on matted roots in reed beds, the nest is built, the eggs incubated and the young raised entirely by the female.

The young Black Terns are quick to leave the nest site, at one day (24 hours) after hatch they are capable of fleeing the nest platform that is generally a precariously floating mat of submergent or dead vegetation quite exposed in an area of hemi-marsh (half open water and half vegetative cover generally speaking).
A full clutch in the Least Bittern nest is on average four to six eggs.
