Heron Info Wanted
Does anybody out there know of a regular spot for seeing feeding Herons? I have seen the odd one here and there, on ponds, on the river or on the canal, but I have yet to see a group in any one place.
Centre of Hebden Bridge, from either of the bridges over Hebden Water. They feed there sometimes just a few metres away from people who stop in amazement to watch.
The most unusual place I've seen a gathering of feeding Herons is on the Football field next to the garage in Mytholmroyd. Think this must be at certain times of the year when frogs young or old are on the move, always late in the evening when they are around.
Copies are available at £6.00 each from the GO local store at Woodlesford, Pellon price . Hopefully they will also be available at the Fox and Goose Hebden Bridge ,

Cheers for that guys.
