Bittern | The Wildlife Trusts
The shy and retiring bittern is a master of blending in and can be very difficult to spot in its reedbed home. It does sound like a booming foghorn, however, when it calls, so can often be heard if it cannot be seen.

Bitterns are large and secretive birds that live amongst the reeds, they are often very hard to spot spending most of their time hidden away feeding on fish, amphibians and insects. Males can occasionally be heard making a far-reaching booming sound during the breeding season. 😍 🎥 Steve Everett #winterwatch | BBC Springwatch
