bittern definition and meaning

What is a "bittern"?

A bittern is a wading bird of the heron family and is known for its elusive nature and unique adaptations. With its mottled brown plumage and camouflaging patterns, it blends seamlessly into its marshland habitat. The bittern possesses a long neck and a sharp bill, which it uses to catch fish, frogs, and other small prey. What sets the bittern apart is its remarkable ability to emit a booming call, resonating across wetlands during the breeding season. This deep and distinctive sound, reminiscent of a foghorn, is produced by inflating its throat pouch and amplifying its presence.
