Post subject:  REPORTED: Bittern at Salmonby

Reported by Mark Brice (with some amazing photo's*)

Bittern at TF 341 731 east of Salmonby.

Driving from Salmonby to Somersby on Bridge Road, turn left at the church in Somersby and continue along this lane. You pass the phone box on your left followed by 2 cottages and a farm then the lane bends to the left and then to the right with 2 houses on your right. Continue along the lane with a planted copse on your left. Just short of where the copse on your left comes to an end you will see a laurel bush in the copse and there is an open field entrance on your right. Stop here, look to the right and you will see a shallow dyke dividing 2 arable farm fields. There is a low hedgerow with trees on the righthand side of the dyke. It is here where I saw the Bittern on the side of the road. Ordnance Survey grid reference TF 341 731.
