Description: | This Little Bittern was used by Thomas Bewick as a model for one of the drawings in his 1826 edition of 'A History of British Birds'. It was found in Blagdon, Northumberland and was given to the Literary and Philosophical Society of Newcastle upon Tyne by Sir Matthew W. Ridley. Little bitterns like to nest near water and occasionally visit Britain during the summer season. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | animals North East natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
