LITTLE BITTERN

Ixobrychus minutus

A: Woudapie/Klenirietreier

 

Generally an uncommon bird, but is locally common at certain places, in particular Marievale Bird Sanctuary. Its small size makes it tricky to pick up in the reeds in which it frequents. Often seen moving between reedbeds where is shows its contrasting dark and buff coloured wings.
