I wondered if anyone would be interested in a Minsmere meet for when the bitterns are booming?
If not another summer meet would be good  |

The Spring bank holiday rains, with 10cm overnight rise in water levels, made for a very bad "bittern year" last year - the eggs got cooled or the chicks waterlogged 
But another meet sounds great.
