Hi All
I posted the message below awhile ago but got no response so I thought I=
might repost and see if anyone had some answers or comments on either que=
stion. The heron nests are active with birds on the nest but no chicks yet.=
I will try and get some photos when I get the time. All the best.

GB Heron nest ?Date: Tue, 17 Jun 2008 10:00:54 -0300
Hi All, While atlassing with Ivy Austin on Sunday at White Point (near N=
eil's Harbour) we observed two occupied GB Heron nests. They were located o=
n rock ledges on the cliff face of a grassy islet that is the farthest poin=
t out on the peninsula. They shared the rock with a number of GBB Gull and =
other seabird nests. Neither of us have seen herons breed on this type of l=
ocation before and I wanted to know if was a common occurrence. Also not=
ed in the area were the return of Barn Swallows to old nesting sites unoccu=
pied for the last few years. I wonder if the large number of swallows kille=
d in the aftermath of hurricane Wilma in 2005 might have had some impact in=
their absence for the last number of years? All the best. =
