The great Northland Matuku-hurepo (Australasian Bittern) muster is happening this October and the Northland Regional Council needs your help to ‘listen for a bittern’ as part of a nationwide synchronised count of male bittern. Whether it’s for one night or all three, volunteer citizen scientists of any age are encouraged to head to a nearby wetland from 7.30pm to 8.30pm and listen out for the male booming call. To participate register yourself or a group of volunteers online and download the Conservation Hub app https://www.lovebittern.com/muster2025 or visit a nearby wetland on October 3, 4, 5 from 7.30-8.30pm. Sit, listen and take note of any booming on the app or write down the details. For all other enquiries contact Wendy at Love Bittern https://www.lovebittern.com/
