Carlos tells us that "I was sitting in front of the new viewpoint when somebody approached with a bittern in his hand. He was about to realease it on the ground below. I convinced him not to. He said he had been handed the bittern a short time ago and did not know whether the animal was able to feed by itself. I told him to take it to the Viamonte Access and hand it to the Reserve Personnel so that they it should be reinserted accordingly. I took some photos as he held it and in the cage. It seemed to be in good condition.
