Media notes
Very brief recording but the bird had been calling more before I was able to record. Headphones are probably needed to hear the call.
Observation details
While working on Billys Lake after off water hours (I am part of the park staff) I happened to hear the bittern calling multiple times. There may have been a second responding but I wasn't confident. At that time I was farther away from the bird. Eventually I moved closer and got a brief recording. Headphones probably needed to hear the call. The bird was hiding somewhere in tall grass and was not visible. This was my first time hearing them and it was exciting to hear such a unique call. This was all right around sunset.
