THE BITTERN SEASON IS BACK.

Every year this season, we see some stranded bitterns who may fly into a window or a door, and perhaps resting in a corner- just like how we recover from a painful bump on the head- albeit a shorter recovery time.

Bitterns are known to freeze (and splay) when they are in shock or are handled. Fortunately, with some quiet incubation time, most of our rescued bitterns recover well and are released back to the wild.

If you see a stranded bittern who is unable to fly, please call our 24-hour wildlife rescue hotline at 97837782 for assistance. We may request you to send photos (for identification), or advise you on how to observe and/or contain the bittern safely for incubation and for a possible release.
