Have you been lucky enough to hear a Bittern this year? They're the loudest UK bird and their boom can be heard up to 5km away. Perfect for attracting females, but due to their camouflage and secretive nature, even if you hear one, you might not see one. #bitterns #birdsofinstagram #birds | RSPB

Today’s #birdsongoftheday is Britain’s loudest bird: the bittern! Their ‘booming’ has been described as a giant gulping or the sound of blowing on the top of a glass bottle (aka a very strange noise).
