A Bittern flew from by the Medieval Village access boardwalk at Cosmeston this morning and flew through the trees toward E lake. However later I saw a Bittern deep in the W lake reeds, looking down from the nearest end of W paddock. 2 Lapwing flew over and there was a scattering of Redwing all over.
