Reedbeds for Bitterns  This website tells you all about a major project, which will give bitterns in the UK a much brighter future. In 1997, there were only 11 male bitterns calling in the UK. Thanks to concerted action by conservationists, numbers are recovering, with 55 booming males recorded in 2004 - up from 43 the year before. With the help of the EU LIFE Fund, eight organisations are working together to ensure that this upwards trend continues. We are providing new reedbeds and restoring existing reedbeds for the benefit of bitterns, other wildlife and you!
