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.

Raupo provides an important refuge habitat for bittern fledglings and it is important to keep a good water level and food source around the raupo so that the bittern fledglings do not need to wander into more open areas where they are more vulnerable. From now to late January is a key time when bittern fledglings are vulnerable.

Bitterns are large and secretive birds that live amongst the reeds, they are often very hard to spot spending most of their time hidden away feeding on fish, amphibians and insects. Males can occasionally be heard making a far-reaching booming sound during the breeding season. 😍 🎥 Steve Everett #winterwatch | BBC Springwatch

We participated in the @birdlifeoz Bittern Listening Survey. The Australasian Bittern is a wetlands bird that resides in the Hunter Estuary but is sadly under threat. Surveys like this provide valuable information on population, distribution and behavior that can help to save the Bittern. #wetlands #birdwatching #conservation #naturefacts #naturelovers #threatenedspecies 🎵Music: Alone Musician: Mike via VN Editor 📷 Australasian Bittern by Imogen Warren CC SA 4.0 via Wikimedia | Hunter Wetlands
