Bittern at Budworth Mere : 30th December 2014
After reading reports of a Bittern in the reed bed at Budworth Mere for a couple of days, I thought that this could be a great chance to end the birding year (most likely) if I could manage to coincide with this bird. A group of us drove over there and went to the hide overlooking the reed bed getting there around 10 am. No Bittern was to be seen !
