:hi:
These birds are a mystery to me, seems that they are always stressed, in community with others.
Not only in these times of couple finding, pairing and breed times.
The big advantage of a large breeding colony has a high price for them.

Thanks for the videos and reports Mutikluti :wave:

:hi: Hello everybody and thank you for a new Heron Webcam season :loveshower: It was fun watching all these families and their behaviour. I wonder whether there will be another little brave Frederick.

Do herons come back to their place of birth or must they search another colony?

:hi:
good question aquiline. Never thought about :puzzled: .
Fact is the very high mortality off the young ones. I suppose the surviving offspring stay in the colony.
Because of the location loyalty of Herons.
They return to their breeding places as long as the trees stand which they use.
I think the remaining few youngsters may stay in the community.

there was more excitement as usual (perhaps they heard/saw something they didn't like, me not: they were screaming too loud)
