Tracking down bitterns in New Zealand
Welcome to the bittern blog. The main aim of this blog is to collate sightings of bittern in NZ so that the Department of Conservation can successfully monitor and protect the remaining bittern in New Zealand.
For any bittern sightings, recent or historical, the basic information I need is
1. Location
2. Date
3. Number of birds seen or heard
4. Any habitat or behavioural observations
5. The observers' name.
Please email this information to me at
langlands@xtra.co.nz
Already I have over 1700 records of bittern spanning the last fifty years.
Identifying Key wetland areas for bittern is a major aim of the project.
