Eurasian Bittern Call & Boom - Deep booming sound of a bittern calling from a wetland

The sound of a Eurasian Bittern making booming calls from a wetland in Sweden. The deep booms of the male Eurasian Bittern can carry for several kilometres (you might need headphones or decent speakers to appreciate this sound to the full!). This call is made to advertise to female bitterns and also as a territorial call. Each 'song' is a series of 2-6 deep resonant booms, often preceded by a few softer gulping notes.
The Eurasian Bittern (Botaurus stellaris) is also known as the Great Bittern and is found throughout much of Europe and Asia, as well parts of Africa. More examples of wildlife sounds and bird calls can be found on my website wildambience.c...
