does anyone know how to stop midges biting you. They swarm me whenever I go out to walk in the bog and bite me. How do I stop them. I've tried all the usual sprays and taking garlic tablets. Add your answer.
The brolga is believed to live between 6-8 years.   The Australasian bittern lives for 8-10 years.   The bush stone curlew has a lifespan of up to 16 years.he American bittern will stand still in water and wait for its  prey. It eats small fish, salamanders, crayfish, insects, frogs,  eels, small snakes, and small mammals.
They nest among rocks and cliffs. The nests are made up of shells and debris or of dead vegetation. Clutch size is 3, on average, and the chicks hatch in 3 to 4 weeks. Young fledge in 27 to 30 days. Common tern chicks are able to fly by the time they are a month old but do not reach sexual maturity for 3 years.ommon terns are found from northern Canada south to the Caribbean Sea, as well as throughout Europe, Northern Asia, North Africa, and the Middle East. Some populations of common terns winter in the south to Peru and Argentina. (Ehrlich, et al., 1988; Malling Olsen and Larsson, 1995).
