Kev, Emmeline, AJ and I had a great morning at a sunny ANR, completing the first check of the Grey Heron and Cormorant nests.
We found 5 apparently occupied heron nests, though none held chicks large enough to ring. Interestingly, one new nest was found more to the west. Could this be the start of an expansion?
There were 45 apparently occupied Cormorant nests. Of the 7 nests we could check ,six had eggs and one had 3 chicks large enough to ring and colour ring.
Many other people were enjoying the Attenborough sunshine and coffee and cake!
