The Yellow
Bittern is known to forage in shallow waters, catching small fish, prawns, frogs and
other vertebrates. In the image above, the bittern is shown in the act of catching a frog along a patch of water weeds. Another bittern was seen ‘frogging’ in watery grasslands & was so
focused on catching its breakfast that it did not seem to be bothered by close approaches from birders/photographers.
How pleased the bird must have been with its catch of a fat juicy frog. How sad for the frog!
