Little Bittern

Posted by Samantha on Dec 20th, 2008

Impossible to spot among the reeds

The little bittern is much smaller than the common bittern, botarus stellaris, and does really look like a dwarf beside its cousin.

Its black, yellow and white plumage acts as camouflage, for in spite of there brightness, these colours blend in with the reed beds where it lives.
