Herons nesting at Priory
The Heronry has gotten off to a good start this year with one pair already on eggs and another two pairs taking up residence. On Monday there was also a seventh heron hanging around. The 2 pairs on the east side of the spit are easily viewable from the east side of the Finger lakes. Keep an eye on the comings and goings throughout the breeding season. If you want to know more why not join the guided walk on Sunday morning (26th). Meet outside the visitor centre at 9am.
