Grey heron          Hallhaigur       Ardea cinerea

 

A baby boom is starting in the heron colony – just imagine the hatching of the chicks of a some hundred nesting pairs at roughly the same time !

For information – the heron pairs keep together only during one nesting period.

The family life of the osprey pair proceeds nicely.

The order of laying the eggs at the moment is this: we saw the first egg in the nest  on April 21st, the second on April 23rd and the third today in early morning, that is on April 26th.
