The nominate little bittern is a palearctic migrant, while race payesi may breed locally (see map). The distinguishing cream-coloured upper wing patch is seen in flight. The upper image was made at Lake Eyasi in October 2010, courtesy of Chris Schmeling. The lower image was made in the Big Marsh at Ndutu in January 2007, courtesy of Paul Oliver.
