agree  Rachel Fell: whether to use capital letters depends on the context, but if using them, it'd be Little bitterns - I don't think it would easily be confused as small bitterns

neutral  Anthony Green: make sure you use capital letters (Little Bittern), otherwise they are smallish versions of members of the bittern family (fairly meaningless)
