Here a female bittern makes a loud rattling call that attracts a male bird and this is one of the recordings I am aware of showing bittern courtship behaviour. Using this vocalisation to locate breeding females using Automatic Acoustic Devices and visual spectrogram analysis is a useful research tool c.

Bitterns, the loudest bird in the UK, have made a remarkable 'boom' back from the brink. All thanks to dedicated RSPB-led research and conservation.

Due to their ‘cryptic’ camouflage and stealth through the reedbeds, Bitterns are considered highly elusive. Counting the number of booming males in the spring is the best way to find out just how many there are. The booming noise which sounds like someone blowing across a milk bottle top is the
