BRINGING back the Bittern was the focus during a Kerang information session on the Australasian bittern, an elusive and all too rare creature also known as the 'bunyip bird', a species that needs specific water conditions to thrive.

The evening was run by the North Central Catchment Management Authority (North Central CMA), which is involved in the Bringing Back the Bittern project, aiming to increase quality and quantity of habitat for the bird.
