The Yellow Bittern (Ixobrychus sinensis) is protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918.

The Yellow Bittern is also the name of a 1917 play about the death of Mac Giolla Ghunna by Daniel Corkery.

She is also a recipient of a Belfast Telegraph EMA Award in for her work on A Place with the Pigs and Song of the Yellow Bittern.

An Bonnán Buí (The Yellow Bittern) is a classic poem in Irish by the poet Cathal Buí Mac Giolla Ghunna.

The poem is in the form of a lament for a Yellow Bittern that died of thirst, but is also a tongue in cheek defence by the poet of his own drinking habit.

The same director Alan Gilsenan went on to direct a full length biography of Liam Clancy, The Yellow Bittern: The Life and Times of Liam Clancy.

In a 2008 documentary, The Yellow Bittern, Liam Clancy recalled Paddy as the "alpha male" of the group, who "quietly laid down the law" that his younger brothers and Makem followed "without question."

However, molecular evidence has shown that it is more closely related to the Yellow Bittern (Ixobrychus sinensis) than to the African and Palaearctic forms of the Little Bittern and is now recognised as a full species.

It has been remarked about his poetry that 'of the handful of poems attributed to him, most are marked by a rare humanity, but none can match An Bonnán Buí (The Yellow Bittern) with its finely-judged blend of pathos and humour'.
