Herons on the Dee Weir in Chester:
Over the past few years, the sight of an occasional heron standing on the banks of the pool below the weir, or on the weir, by the Old Dee Bridge in Chester has become quite common.
Yesterday evening I was walking over the Old Dee Bridge at 7pm (about 3 hours after High Water) and saw two below the bridge on the weir's edge. Then, a glance over to the Salmon Leap and I counted a further seven!
Nine herons on the weir must be a record?
