Belters. Bitterns don't often give views like that!

Lakenheath Fen RSPB is a great reserve.

Thanks Guys. I Have to say the R.S.P.B. at Lakenheath have done a fantastic job with habitat maintenance for Bitterns
we had one of the wardens in the hide with us he was telling us they have as many as ten male bitterns on the site this year and three successful nests.
