Baby Herons: After The Floods

October 31, 2016 by Jade Craven Leave a Comment

I first spotted the nest in September and was hoping it was still intact. The wild weather has been destroying a number of nests in the region.

I was so happy to see them in the nest and it turned out I wasn’t the only one. There were two other people there, including a lady with a telephoto lens.

I think they are 3-4 weeks old and hopefully should be fledging soon. I managed to see the fledglings last year however missed them in the nest. 😉 If you look closely, you’ll see I even managed to get both birds pooping. Now THAT is a skill.
