      A cassowary’s calls sound like grunting and alligators let out a loud, gurgling “burp” sound.

      @@cunnieseverywhere Its a Bittern (Great or Eurasian, you pick which descriptor name you prefer) using its "AVERAGE" call which it usually makes from the cover of dense reedbeds. The secretive disposition of this species of bird coupled with its relatively low population numbers has made observation of this behaviour rather rare and difficult to observe let alone capture on film until recently, as a consequence this footage is an excellent example of seldomly seen behaviour that characterises this species.

    Heard one at RSPB Ouse Fen in June this year, when it was cloudy. The bird was somewhere in the middle of the reedbed section of the reserve (it is very large compared to most reserves I have been to), and I could hear it all over the reedbed section. They are known as Britain's loudest bird for a reason.

    Despite living for so long here, nobody (my parents, grandparents, etc.) never paid too much attention to them nor saw the bird as it is a camouflage master.
