There is always debate about how many nesting herons are at the heronry each year.
It is impossible to see all of the nesting heron in amongst the thick tree cover.
This video shows just one heron and her chicks. If you look carefully, the chicks are visible moving about the bottom of the nest. The image is a little wavy because I’m filming 150 metres from the nest.

It is great that they are rearing chicks after all of your hard work. I hope they will be left in peace.

Thanks. I’ll keep a closer eye on them and put a couple of camera traps in the area.
