The Least Bitterns are still in Bronte Marsh, and have been active every day for the last week. If your patient and have some time, you may see them fly. I have it as three (possibly four) birds in the marsh, I have seen two males and one female with a possible juvenile bird. Update to Andrew Dons posting, there are 5 Eastern Screech owls, 2 adults with 3 owlets. Black Crowned Night heron, Caspian and Common Terns, Blue Heron, and Kingfisher viewed at the marsh also. Oh, and 2 beavers
Some photos, of the Least Bitterns and others here http://www.pbase.com/mikeveltri/wading_birds These photos are large crops of this speedy little heron. Not an easy bird to photograph, patience is needed.
