VIDEO: Bitterns Boom in Rice
Bitterns Boom in Rice is an informative and entertaining video produced by Birdlife Australia and Ricegrowers' Association raising awareness of Australasian Bitterns.
Australasian Bitterns are listed as vulnerable or endangered in every state in which they occur, and are listed nationally as endangered. In the Riverina agricultural region, most bittern sightings take place in rice crops, which act as shallow wetlands, indicating that rice farms may prove to be an important tool in bittern conservation.
