Herons, Powderham, Devon

[Chris Wilson]

Lots of activity over at Powderham yesterday - this nest has four youngsters in it plus (I guess) mum - so a bit crowded!

Yes, I know you can only see three young but trust me - and yes, this is the clearest shot I could get through the trees!

Thanks for looking

cheers, cw

I can confirm that Chris can count up to at least 5 (as long as he uses his knuckles rather than fingertips!)

Nice shot of them, Chris. Near the lay-by or towards Starcross?

Thanks guys.
The main nest site is opposite the yacht club Nod - well, just down a bit but you'll hear them.

Better light in the morning - just got back.........

cheers, cw

Cheers for the info, Chris - might pop over there next Tuesday and tie it in with whacking a few balls up the range (as well as a few sideways!)
