Rhonda and I were sitting on our back deck enjoying lunch when out of the long grass at the lake edge 15m from us stepped a LITTLE BITTERN.  It quickly ducked back into the grass.  Our mad scramble for cameras was rewarded when it reappeared (see enclosed).  I believe this one is a male but happy to be corrected.  Is this a first for a GBS site??? Incidentally we live in Jerrabomberra, NSW on the shore of Lake Jerrabomberra
