Second hand report of a Bittern on the W Dart at Hexworthy last week from an unknown observer.  Must be a red heron....  Bitterns not unheard of on Dartmoor, and they can turn up in funny places, but almost always during cold winter weather.  Was this a Heron, a Cormorant or a wicker basket washed down by the flood?  Or perhaps it really was a Bittern...
