Sorry to be so brief with my last post, hard to find free time here at work. Here are better directions for those unfamiliar with the north end, as per Tom P:
Take the wood chip path continuous with the NW slope of the Loch looking over Lasker rink and the Meer. About halfway on that chip path is a huge boulder. Just north of that boulder (about ten or twenty yards) is a snag and just next to the snag (slightly up slope) is a tree that has not leafed out yet. The bittern is (or was) in that tree. Good luck to those who try for it. Hopefully the bird will stick around.
