- Comments: "amazingly the bittern found by Tom Stephenson last week was seen again yesterday (Sunday) by Omar Alui on discord in the same area across from the Pink Bench so I went and staked it out. Did not see it at first so walked the peninsula, came back and found it on far left side of the phrags. Incredibly camouflage, super long yellow beak and eye. dark cap and dope camo streaking on the neck.it did all the classic poses: smushed up in a small ball borb; extending neck up as far as possible to look like a reed, and then eventually a low, ducking creep walk that got too exciting so he took a short flight hop.
