Yorkshire Wildlife Trust has revealed its first bittern breeding success at its North Cave Wetlands nature reserve, near Hull, where a juvenile bittern was spotted earlier this month.

Another breeding success at the reserve in recent weeks has included the emergence of a clutch of common pochard chicks – which are on the IUCN red list of threatened species.

It is thought are only around 80 pairs breeding in Yorkshire, the males of which have a bright reddish-brown head, a black breast and tail and a pale grey body.
