    Interesting observation. I live close by, and believe this small heronry started when there was major disturbance at the next nearest colony at Buttington Brickworks, probably about 8 years ago?

      Yes Chris that would certainly explain it. I am lucky to be able to see them from my garden and they are a delight - if a bit noisy now and again.
