Australasian bittern (Botaurus poiciloptilus)
The Australasian bittern lives in freshwater wetlands in dense beds of reeds and rushes, where their secretive nature makes them difficult to see. When disturbed, Australasian bitterns disappear slowly into cover or blend into the surrounding reeds by keeping perfectly still with their neck and bill pointing skywards. Drainage of swamps removes the habitat of Australasian bitterns, but ricefields are also used by the species as habitat. |
