    The trees on the opposite side of the river are used by nesting grey herons every year. The prehistoric-looking birds have been using this site as a ‘heronry’ for a number of years now. Herons arrive in February and typically lay their eggs in the same nests each year, which hatch between March and April. The best time to observe the birds is in April, when nests are still visible before they become obscured by tree leaves.
