As regular CFZ-watchers will know, for some time Corinna has been doing a column for Animals & Men and a regular segment on On The Track... particularly about out-of-place birds and rare vagrants. There seem to be more and more bird stories from all over the world hitting the news these days so, to make room for them all - and to give them all equal and worthy coverage - she has set up this new blog to cover all things feathery and Fortean.

Beer for Bitterns

Posted on: 03 May 2014
A Barnsley brewery has teamed up with the RSPB to launch a new beer inspired by Bittern, to raise funds for bird conservation.

Acorn Brewery's 'Butter Bump' beer will help Bittern conservation in the North of England, with Acorn donating 5p to the RSPB for every pint sold. The first pint of Butter Bump was pulled at the award-winning Old No. 7 pub in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, by David Woodhead of nearby Sheffield, who won a competition to name the new beer.

David explained: “I did a bit of research and found that Butter Bump is an old English name for the Bittern, which was commonly used in Yorkshire. It’s also a great name for a beer and after sampling I’m delighted to say that it tastes terrific.”
