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.
Due to population declines and habitat loss, the breeding population of the American bittern was listed as endangered in New Jersey. Like many species in New Jersey, protecting American bitterns is closely tied with protecting their wetland habitats.he female bittern incubates the eggs for 24 to 29 days. After they hatch, the female cares for the chicks. She feeds them partially digested food, which she coughs up and shares with her young. The young leave the nest at about two weeks of age and stay in the area for an additional two weeks.
