Little Bittern (Ixobrychus minutus)

Posted by Rossen

It is a very small bittern; measuring 25–36 cm in length, 40–58 cm across the wings and weighing 59–150 g.  It has a longish bill and buff underparts. The male's back and crown are black, and the wings are black with a large white patch on each wing. The female has a browner back and a buff-brown wing patch.
