    DescriptionDetecting Australasian bitterns can be a challenge. They are listed as Endangered in Australia with only 1300 estimated left in the wild nationally. They are elusive and well-camouflaged, nest amongst dense wetland vegetation, and male bitterns call at night for part of the year. Charles Sturt University (CSU) researchers and NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) scientists have collaborated in a project funded by the Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder (CEWH) to investigate the relationship between the timing and duration of water for the environment deliveries and bittern calling activity.
