Bittern -- Teifi Marshes

After spending a good while watching the reed-bed in the kingfisher hide area, & being told the Bittern hadn't been seen( by birders present since 1530), we also gave up!
At 1845 as we aproached Priory Bridge, Wendy picked up a Bittern flying above the reed-bed towards the Heron hide area, we then watched it drop back into the reed-bed.

On the breeding bird front, Water rails still screaming away, & we wonder if Cetti's have moved in from elsewhere due to the cold winter further east?? A good number singing & good distribution of birds.
