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

Hello everybody and thank you for a new Heron Webcam season 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?

[Biker]

good question aquiline. Never thought about .
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.

Good morning!
Yesterday evening was summer in Estonia, today morning if I opened my eyes was all ground again white....
Some herons are building their nests, some have eggs, in one nest was yesterday four eggs....

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

I think you choose to watch the webcams and say no to spring.
"The same procedure as every year."

[Biker]

hmm, ok, I have to accept that in the golden years not all is golden and i have to take more rests the older I get... so that I can enjoy too the summer, the autumn, etc. in the woods ...

silence (almost )
