Don’t let the elusive, weird and wacky Australasian Bittern get voted out in round one of Bird of the Year! 🐦 This Endangered bird is fascinating – almost mythical – with a unique booming call! 🌾 Did you know? When alarmed, these birds freeze with their necks stretched high and bills pointing to the sky. Sometimes they even sway in the breeze, blending perfectly with the reeds around them. Team Bittern?
