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 heron camera starts its third season. We follow the activities in Estonia’s largest heron colony in Lääne County where last season nearly 490 pairs of grey herons and 250 pairs of great egrets were nesting. Only grey herons were nesting in the colony from the start in the 1990’ies; the great egrets did not move in until 2015.

Heron camera

For this year we have, with regrets, to say goodbye to the grey heron colony camera. A new generation of herons has been reared, the heron colony residents have scattered. The otherwise transparent cover of the camera is already disturbing the view and needs cleaning.

We introduce a new nature camera from an Estonian grey heron nest colony located in Lääne County. It is probably the largest heron colony in Estonia now, nearly 300 pairs nest there. In total 2000-2500 pairs nest in Estonia.
