Hi All,=20
   While atlassing with Ivy Austin on Sunday at White Point (near Neil's Ha=
rbour) we observed two occupied GB Heron nests. They were located on rock l=
edges on the cliff face of a grassy islet that is the farthest point out on=
 the peninsula. They shared the rock with a number of GBB Gull and other se=
abird nests. Neither of us have seen herons breed on this type of location =
before and I wanted to know if was a common occurrence.=20
   Also noted in the area were the return of Barn Swallows to old nesting s=
ites unoccupied for the last few years. I wonder if the large number of swa=
llows killed in the aftermath of hurricane Wilma in 2005 might have had som=
e impact in their absence for the last number of years? All the best.=20

Hi All, <BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp; While atlassing with Ivy Austin on Sunday at White Point (near=
 Neil's Harbour) we observed two occupied&nbsp;GB Heron nests. They were lo=
cated on rock ledges on the cliff face of a grassy islet that is the farthe=
st point out on the peninsula. They shared the rock with a number of GBB Gu=
ll and other seabird nests. Neither of us have seen herons breed on this ty=
pe of location before and I wanted to know if was a common occurrence. <BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Also noted in the area were the return of Barn Swallows t=
o old nesting sites unoccupied for&nbsp;the last&nbsp;few years. I wonder i=
f the large number of swallows killed in the aftermath of hurricane Wilma i=
n 2005 might have had some impact in their absence for the last number of y=
ears? All the best. <BR>
