Home > Fylde Coast Wildlife > Marton Mere & South Blackpool > Bitterns & Egrets FILE 40/51 Bittern Botaurus stellaris Marton Mere nature reserve Blackpool this was easily my closest sighting of a Bittern at Marton Mere, but sadly there was half a reedbed between me & it & I was shooting directly into the sun. For this shot the bird lept up off the ice & into the reeds with a couple of flaps of its wings, it then dropped down again & melted away into the reeds.
