Description.
General Description: Site is two small islands just south
of Loch 3, approximate River Mile 218.5. This used to be the largest single
heronry until most of the trees died and most of the birds moved further north
into Drake's Creek. I suspect that they will move back gradually over the next
several years due to the Drake's Creek island trees dying.
General Habitat:
Freshwater Island
Specific Habitat:
Deciduous Trees
