Bittern

Lade - cold and frosty, light airs - A stunning view of a `super moon` around dawn made for a spectacular start to the day. On the local pits Long-tailed Duck, Slavonian Grebe and eight Goldeneyes were still present on south lake, but yesterdays Goosanders had moved on. A flight view of a Bittern over the far reedbed was the first of the winter. Also noted, two Marsh Harriers and a Goldcrest.
  On the Dungeness RSPB reserve today a Cattle Egret was noted in the fields at Boulderwall, while a Long-eared Owl had returned to the roost site behind the Dipping Pond for the third year running.
