Can you hear the boom? 🔊 That’s the mating call of the mysterious matuku/bittern, a large wetland bird more often heard than seen. Our staff, along with Bay of Plenty Regional Council, Fish & Game New Zealand and over 80 volunteers, put on our detective hats to record population estimates of the endangered bittern. This is an essential count to help us evaluate trends, prioritise habitat restoration and determine how to adapt to management. Learn more about the matuku/bittern here: https://bit.

Has anyone else heard any booming sounds coming from their local marsh? Our bird project learder Doug Morin tells us more: "This is a male American Bittern, performing it’s vocalization – sometimes called “booming.” Bitterns are a highly camouflaged and secretive species that inhabit dense shallow marshes. The strong, low-pitched “booming” call is important because it carries a long distance, allowing competing males and interested females to know where the displaying bird is, despite their habi

Have you heard Britain’s loudest bird? Bitterns are beginning to boom at many of our nature reserves. 😃 At Lancashire’s RSPB Leighton Moss, which boasts the largest reedbed in North West England, these elusive heron-like birds can be already be heard booming across the reserve and Morecambe Bay. Did you know the female Bittern can hear the male’s mating call from up to 3 km away? Let us know if you’ve heard any booming Bitterns at RSPB Leighton Moss or your local reserve!

With the right conservation support, a species can bounce back.. At RSPB Middleton Lakes bitterns have successfully raised five young marking the first recorded breeding success of this species in the West Midlands for more than 100 years! New bittern nesting territories have also been established at RSPB Burton Mere Wetlands and RSPB Leighton Moss, while record numbers have been seen at reserves in the south and east of England 🎉 | RSPB

Today’s #birdsongoftheday is Britain’s loudest bird: the bittern! Their ‘booming’ has been described as a giant gulping or the sound of blowing on the top of a glass bottle (aka a very strange noise).
