Rare Bitterns Breed at Sefton Nature Reserve for First Time in 200 Years

One of the UK’s rarest birds has successfully bred in Sefton for the first time in 200 years.Bittern chicks have been spotted fledging their nest at Lunt Meadows Wetland Nature Reserve, where the reedbeds provide the birds’ habitat. The species is Britain’s loudest bird and nearly became extinct in the 1990s. Lancashire Wildlife Trust, which manages the reserve, said it was “absolutely thrilled” and hoped it was the “first of many breeding attempts”. Site manager Cheryl Ashton said: “While this is a first for our reserve, it is likely that bittern would have commonly bred in the region centuries ago.” Due to a loss of reedbed habitat, bittern numbers plummeted and in 1997, there were only 11 breeding males recorded in the UK.
