Life in Newburgh on Ythan

At the heronry

Lots of coming and going at our local heronry.

Extra. Hatching must be well advanced by now if the number of hatched blue eggs lying under the trees is anything to go by!


A favourite heron quote:

"The fox when it sees a flock of herons or magpies or birds of that kind, suddenly flings himself on the ground with his mouth open to look as he were dead; and these birds want to peck at his tongue, and he bites off their heads."
Leonardo da Vinci
