Chris had a surprise at Nanteos Pool on Friday when a Heron flew into a tree and three well-grown young popped up from a hitherto unknown nest.
Over the years heronries have been well studied in Ceredigion (and elsewhere) but breeding has not been recorded at Nanteos before, although the Grey Heron is a regular visitor to the lake there.
There is an interesting article The Heron in Ceredigion by Peter Davis in the Ceredigion Bird Report 2003 which summarises the history of the county's heronries.
