About Grey heron (Ardea cinerea) #233
From Spain, Catalunya.
April 2007.
Barcelona zoo is home to a secret. Above the compounds and cages is the largest single heronry in Catalonia, and biggest urban heronry in Europe, with some 100 nesting pairs. A single heron escaped from his cage in the 1970's and decided to stay. It was joined by a wild to-be mate, and so the colony was born, from which the then beleagered Catalan population has expanded and grown. Cast your eyes upwards down Aragon , Parallel or Diagonal in the early evening and you've a chance of spotting a heron flying home to its zoo roost. They feed in the lagoons of the Delta de Llobregat and along the Llobregat and Besos rivers. Increased agricultural activity gives them permanent all-year food supplies. Little Egret ( Egretta garzetta) with 6 nests are also present along with cattle egret and glossay ibis (up to 10 nests, depending on the year)
