Known for its remarkable camouflage, the Eurasian bittern (Botaurus stellaris), a secretive wetland bird. This illustrated vinyl sticker features a bittern feather with its buff and dark brown streaked plumage, which helps it blend seamlessly with reedbeds and marsh vegetation, allowing it to disappear among the tall stems of its habitat.
Bitterns are rare and elusive birds in the UK and are more often heard than seen. The male’s deep, resonant booming call can carry across wetlands during the breeding season, echoing through reedbeds in calm conditions. Once close to extinction in Britain, conservation work has helped the species slowly recover in protected wetland habitats.
Sticker size: 70 mm on the longest side.
