Wyver Lane, Belper is well off-piste for me but James, my eldest son, was down there today and saw and photographed his first Bittern! It wasn't close but still a nice record shot of a very rare visitor to the Derwent Valley. There is a blog covering the area run by Dave Newcombe Derwent Valley Birder which has regular updates on local bird sightings.
There are currently two birds there following the first report on around 2 Jan.
