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 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.
The American Bittern forms loose monogamous or polygynous pair bonds. . The male defends a nesting territory in a dense marsh but does not help with incubation or care of the young. The female builds a nest platform of marsh vegetation and lines it with grasses.hey are most active at dawn and dusk. When alarmed, the bittern extends its neck and head vertically and freezes or sways with the breeze, blending in with the surrounding vegetation.
