Yeah just checked the date on my field notes and it was the 7th. I just remembered being a bit suprised after the survey and checking the breeding dates. I did some heronry watching for a couple of years in south wales and it still seemed early, allowing for 4 weeks inclubation and fledging after forty odd days it seemed pretty tight!!
S/he was still fluffy around the edges with quite a short beak quite stumpy looking all round bless it!
