We're very grateful to the thousands of volunteers who have kept this annual survey going (and growing) since 1928! Many thanks for your part in this and for telling everyone about it through your blog.<br />John John Marchantnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1087997614866569468.post-16531240008467311242014-04-25T17:59:18.354+01:002014-04-25T17:59:18.354+01:00What a wonderful privilege you had, Findlay.

I always find it strange that, away from the heronry, they seem to be very solitary birds, yet they obviously like nesting in quite large colonies. I guess it's something to do with hunting alone reducing the competition for resources.<br /><br />Keep up the good work - - RichardRichard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1087997614866569468.post-71461205558122312822014-04-25T06:24:15.296+01:002014-04-25T06:24:15.296+01:00Hi Finlay Wow! what a wonderful experience you ha...Hi Finlay Wow! what a wonderful experience you had to be out with the Professor and to learn so much and have great fun doing it.
