Bitterns

Did you know that bitterns have bred at Old Moor?!!!

Well, like most other people, I did, but it's not the same as actually seeing them in the flesh. Been busy over the last couple of months so haven't had the chance to get out and about locally; but today I made a special effort to have a look at them.

It's absolutely fantastic to have these birds breeding within two miles of the pit village that you have lived in all your life. Its extra extra special when something like this occurs on your doorstep.
