Here a female bittern makes a loud rattling call that attracts a male bird and this is one of the recordings I am aware of showing bittern courtship behaviour.

Can you hear the boom? 🔊 That’s the mating call of the mysterious matuku/bittern, a large wetland bird more often heard than seen.

Bittern chicks - a FIRST in reserve history! We're extremely excited to announce the hatching of seven bittern chicks for the first time in Martin Mere's recorded history. In an attempt to encourage a breeding pair to the reedbed, our reserve team completed works such as clearing scrub, cutting large areas of reed to create an area of different aged reeds and raising the water levels on the reedbed to allow fish to thrive so that the bitterns would have enough supply to feed their young.
