Visiting birder, Martin Weir @wakeyweir86 was sitting on the bench by the Boathouse Reeds when he noticed a Bittern flying across the res. It dropped in to the reeds to the right of him, about 100m away. he was unsure about what side it came from as he only saw it as it got close. It was about 2pm.
