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? Shen some loce: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/ng-interactive/2025/oct/06/australi

Can you hear the boom? 🔊 That’s the mating call of the mysterious matuku/bittern, a large wetland bird more often heard than seen. Our staff, along with Bay of Plenty Regional Council, Fish & Game New Zealand and over 80 volunteers, put on our detective hats to record population estimates of the endangered bittern. This is an essential count to help us evaluate trends, prioritise habitat restoration and determine how to adapt to management. Learn more about the matuku/bittern here: https://bit.
