Booming bitterns
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 авг 2024
- This year the annual butterbump survey has recorded another increase with 198 booming male bitterns found at 89 sites across England and Wales, of which 102 were found on RSPB reserves.
For 2020, we would request that the many volunteers, conservation site staff and landowners continue to monitor sites for booming males and nesting attempts as has happened this year. Given the increasing number of successful nests reported across the country, it is increasingly likely that new and formerly-occupied sites will become occupied by booming Bitterns in the near future. The RSPB will aim to collate all the records, with the intention of producing a similar report next year. To report any observations this season, or to request a copy of the survey methods and recording forms, please contact me on the details below.

Stapleton: "Did you ever hear a bittern booming? "
Watson: "No, I never did. "
The Hound of the Baskerville's brought me here too!
Ha ha 😂 me too
"Bogs make queer noises sometimes."
Where can I find a video of a bittern booming, please?
Yep me too. What a fantastic book
I actually heard a bittern for the first time today on my walk! How lovely.
It is a real rare and special moment that you must never forget if you do manage to catch a mere glimpse of these secretive birds, Ive actually been privileged enough to to spot one on the Norfolk broads once when I was out there pike fishing and ill never forget how special the brief glimpse I got of one was as it flew in to the reeds was
Sherlock Holmes - The Hound of the Baskerville's (1939) brought me here.
mee too
Same here!
I am currently reading it.
@@saramalsawmi3824 If you ever get chance to, watch the Basil Rathbone / Nigel Bruce Sherlock Holmes movies (14 in total). You will not regret it! They take the books to a whole new level. 👍
@@icecold2042 I will, after I finish reading the original. Thanks btw
It is great news to hear the numbers of this species are on the rise.
Well done to all involved with conservation projects everywhere, for all creatures.
I live in a very green part of Central London as a child in the 1980 I used to see out of the windows sparrows playing chase , dancing and frolicking from branch to branch of trees, during the winter it was more visible because the tress where bare and I would stare out of the window watching them play outside but I could not because of the bitter cold. However during the 1990 they dissappeared and I could not see one sparrow. Recently they have come back and one day I heard so many birds chrpung out the window when I looked outside I saw about 20 sparrows playing and it made me very nostalgic. I think they have come back because the authorities have blocked of many of the roads in our areas to decrease traffic and air pollution.
Beautiful to see their numbers increasing. 11 males to nearly 200 is incredible! We have an endangered bittern in Australia (the Australasian Bittern) and they're considered endangered while their population is just under 1000 on the continent. A long way to go for the bitterns of English and Wales to get to that point, but I hope it does happen with continued conservation effort and monitoring.
Such a shame to hear they went extinct in the 1800s but brilliant that you managed resurrect them somehow
See Jurassic Park. Same technology.
Extinct in Britain but not elsewhere. So some flew to Britain later.
how did they breed new ones if they went extinct?
I wanna use this as my ringtone! Thanks, Mr. Stapleton.
Thank you for including so much audio of the bittern really booming away, which is what most of us came here for I should think. Of course, I can’t actually hear the slightest note of it, meaning that the bittern must have an exclusively subsonic boom, inaudible to the naked ear, as it were. An enlightening observation, to be sure.
@@ringkichardthethrid7147 I'm actually losing my mind I can't find audio of it anywhere
I heard one for the first time this week, always wanted to hear the booming since I learned about it as a child.
Great that you helped them increasing so much. I hope your fantastic work isn`t put at an end and that maybe in 50 or 100 years , there shall be so many of them again...
"What is Britain's loudest bird" was a question on The Chase earlier this week.
I just wish we could say the same for the rest of our wildlife which has been decimated over my 60yr lifetime.
I heard my first ever bittern booming yesterday - 17th January! Spring is here!
@@mlm7609 It was on the Somerset Levels, not far from Glastonbury.

Strange look these birds have. You get the impression (this straight ahead look), that they're pretending not to notice that they're being watched.
I really like these birds…….we have them in Australia as well 🙌💖
Everything you ever wanted to know about bitterns. EXCEPT the actual noise they make! Smh
The sound is right at the beginning it’s sounds like a pipe
Literally at 1 second in is a booming Bittern, that IS the noise they make... smh
@@Eddyn6 ah, yes. Quite a boom. Leave me alone dude don't you have better things to do
Try using earbuds or headphones.
If you use headphones 🎧 you can hear 👂 it
Such a beautiful bird.
Wonderful work!
@0:35 - AH HA HA !! He has a Mohican !
What is that very loud bird that was singing that whole time?
Isaiah 14:23 brought me here
I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the LORD of hosts.
Isaiah 14:23 KJV
Heard one tonight in Somersham cambs local nature reserve, bottom lake.
Ornithology, My Dear Watson.
Amazing birds
Hm, likely story, Stapleton.
ive heard the Bittern on my farm all year. Ive just realised what it was..
Only 11 ?
I could swear I heard three bittern booms today in Wandsworth at about 3pm 31 Jan. Could it travel as far as from Barnes Wetlands centre to Wandsworth?
Hound of Baskervilles (The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson) brought me here.
I heard one at Leighton Moss. First time in years. April’20
They went extinct in the 1800s but then resurrected. A miracle. But as Miracle Max said, "Almost dead is not all dead."
bassBOOSTED birds 🎵🎵
Heard one this morning at Strumpsham Fen ! Was hopping for a cuckoo but I’ll take a bittern!
Doesn't sound like the bitterns in Dot and The Kangaroo.. those things were screaming, this just sounds like loud mumble
First time I seen one today thought it sounded like a lion
Captions say they went extinct... was that supposed to be, almost extinct?
These birds can emit a subsonic frequency
If something can become extinct, and then come back to life a few decades later. What is all the fuss about?
"They went extinct... and almost vanished again in the 90's... ". ???
WUT!!?
The photographing of one in northants uk and the connection with the bible brought me here
I can actually imitate a booming bittern!
Once bittern twice shy...
is this the Eurasian bittern???????????

The 'EU funding' was our tax money coming back to us, for this superb cause.
I know this breaks established convention but; birb
Beauotufl animal love it im in science class rn
198 ? Hunters: Time to shoot them hehuaheia.
Could we clone them to help their dwindling population?
Due to EU funding we are able to enjoy them again.
Đã quá👍👍🦜🦜❤❤❤
