Wintering Eurasian Bittern (video)
A Eurasian Bittern that has been staying since last year. There are several individuals, but one of them shows no wariness at all and can be watched closely. It has been appearing reliably of late, and its behaviour — so utterly unlike the other herons — is a real pleasure to observe. ^^
A Eurasian Bittern appeared right in front of me. It noticed me but showed no alarm.
It kept coming closer. Seen head-on, it has quite a menacing look.
The Eurasian Bittern came within a few metres. Small fish were the main prey.
A wintering Chinese Pond Heron. Around four individuals are on the island.
Adult Purple Heron.
Not as many as last year, but several Yellow Bitterns are wintering again this season.
