There are lots on the Hayle Estuary (Cornwall) and Cuckmere Haven (Sussex). They are on the increase and stay all year. Maybe they'll breed soon? |

They've bred in London for the past 3 years at Walthamstow Reservoirs. |

If herons breed in a 'Heronry' do egrets breed in an 'Egretry' I wonder?

However I think you call it a heronry still; sometimes these mixed colonies of heron like birds that may also contain ibises, etc in warmer climes are sometimes called rookeries without a corvid in sight!  |
