	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.

	American Bittern (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Going over my 50 or so Bittern shots at Shollenberger, I note photos showing yellow eyes, and many showing birds with red eyes.
		One reference says juveniles have yellow eyes but fails to drop the other shoe by stating that the color is different in adults.
		Another reference says the adults "have yellow irises which turn orange during courtship." I have several Bitterns "booming" and it almost looks like they have olive eyes - while that could be a product of the available lighting, the two shots above were taken in the same light.

	Sandgrouse - Yellow Bittern in Oman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		NE OF THE FIRST claims JE received as a member of the Oman Bird Records Committee (OBRC) was of Yellow Bittern Ixobrychus sinensis: the observer, Conrad Greaves, had reported singles at Khor Taqah on 20 July 1984 and at East Khor, Salalah on 9 June-18 July 1986 (the second occurrence documented with photographs).
		The descriptions and photographs were sent to James Hancock for confirmation, who considered the occurrences likely to relate to Yellow Bittern.
		Yellow Bittern breeds from the Indian Subcontinent north and east through China to south-east Siberia, Japan, west Oceania and Indochina, the Philippines, Indonesia and New Guinea.

	All About Birds
		A tiny heron, furtive and surpassingly well camouflaged, the Least Bittern is one of the most difficult North American marsh birds to spot.
		When alarmed, the Least Bittern freezes in place with its bill pointing up, turns its front and both eyes toward the source of alarm, and sometimes sways to resemble wind-blown marsh vegetation.
		The Least Bittern and the American Bittern often occupy the same wetlands, but may have relatively little interaction because of differences in foraging habits, preferred prey, and timing of breeding cycles.

	YE'LL AYE BE WELCOME BACK AGAIN
		Although the name Yellow Barber is given to a bird species, the general consensus seems to be that the title refers to a mulatto barber, a common-enough occurrence among freemen in the South as well as other parts of the country.
		He came upon a yellow bittern lying frozen on the icy lake, and Gunn, identifying with the creature, suspected that the death was brought about because the bird could not drink from the iced-over water.
		Yellow is a term applied to light-skinned African Americans or those with mulatto coloring.

		We walked around the park and the lake side for next 90 minutes enjoying the birds which are almost always there in large numbers.
		the highlight of the walk was spotting of 4 Black-crowned Night Heron and a Black Bittern(?) am putting a question mark mainly because we still dont have a picture but all the three groups saw it separately and could describe it in details.
		It may be noted that Black Bittern (like Cinnamon and Yellow Bittern) is not listed as being found in Nagpur.

		Non-breeding: Crest and plumes are lost and legs, bill and facial skin become greenish yellow ¡V makes confusion with white morph of Pacific Reef Egret possible (feeds in same habitat).
		Non-breeding birds and immatures are white and separated from similar egrets by shorter yellow bill.

		The best find was a female/immature Cinnamon Bittern (Ixobryochus cinnamomeus) found low in a bush; I spooked it and it flew off but settled again in a low branch of an acacia about 50 yards out.
		Whilst sheltering in the temple area, I found a Yellow Bittern (Ixobrychus sinensis) and a Eurasian Wryneck (Jynx torquilla) in an acacia overhanging the water, and going back along the Sapan Mari trail I refound the Cinammon Bittern.

	Ixobrychus minutus
		The Little Bittern can be a difficult bird to locate since it spends much of its time hidden in dense reedbeds.
		Occasionally though it pops up and skims hurriedly over the top of the reeds showing the strikingly pale panels of its upperwing.
		When a Little Bittern does drop back into the reeds it may still perch prominently, showing off its dark cap and pale body as well as the pale wing coverts.

		From the hide, where we were again joined by Brian Sykes, Terek Sandpipers were the top of my wader list (twitched while wringing out saturated socks) while White-fronted Waterhens, a Yellow Bittern and Slaty-breasted Rail added nicely to the growing day-list.
		Lesser Coucal and Long-tailed Shrike were in grasslands close to a river thick with White-winged Terns hawking a fly hatch with Pacific and Barn Swallows.
		A visit to a sewage settling pond (which by now will have been filled in by the development work going on) produced Cinnamon Bittern and White-browed Crake (found by Brian and giving stonking views).
