Love the poem, Brian. What is odd is that I’ve lost the sound on my laptop! Now who can have stolen it? Need to fiddle with my settings. Fortunately I know what a Bittern sounds like.

An intriguing piece inspired by an intriguing bird: one which I’ve see, but not heard (except in recordings)

Intriguing…I don’t think we have those birds where I live, was the call the whoop-whoop sound or the previous noise?

The call mainly the whoop whoop. Imagine hearing that at night!!! That’s why it is also known as the Bunyip Bird 🙂

Oh, my, that’d be quite the eye-opening sound at night. We have the whip-poor-will bird that sings at night.
