You
may never see a bittern,
He
is so secretive and shy.
You may never see a bittern
because he likes to hide
You
may never see a bittern,
When
he’s new and on his nest.
He has a wispy little crown
and soft and fluffy fuzzy
down
You
may never see a bittern
When
he is looking for his lunch.
He creeps among the stalky
reeds
With eyes like yellow shiny
beads
You
may never see a bittern
When
his eyes are on his prey
He likes a frog or vole or
fish
and he darts to catch his dish
You
may never see a bittern
He
has many ways to hide.
He makes his body tall and
thin
or straight and pointy like
a pin.
You
may never see a bittern
You
could watch the reeds all day.
It could be there are so
few
or he might be watching you
You
may never
see a bittern
But
you might hear one ………. BURP
OR
Version 2
You
may never see a bittern
He
is so difficult to spot
He’s
very shy and secretive
and
he always hides a lot
You
may never see a bittern,
When
he’s new and on his nest.
With
lovely soft and fluffy down
and
a funny little crest
You
may never see a bittern
When
he’s looking all around.
He
creeps among the stalky reeds
he
never makes a sound
You
may never see a bittern
When
his eyes are on his prey
He
likes a fish, a frog or vole
He
wants one every day
You
may never see a bittern
He
has many ways to hide.
He
makes his body tall and thin
or
flattened down and wide.
You
may never see a bittern
You
could watch the reeds all day.
He
might be standing watching you
It’s
impossible to say
You
may never
see a bittern
but
if you ever heard
you
would certainly remember
The
day a Bittern Burped
