Heron Watch is back at the park - come and view the herons from the deck, meet our Heron Watch volunteers to find out what's happening up in the trees and see live footage from the nests on our atrium screen!

We're delighted to once again provide the opportunity for visitors to see the herons nesting in Heron Valley.

We have binoculars and the telescope for visitors to use. You can see live action from selected nests which are fitted with a camera feeding live images through to our TV screen in the atrium, taking you inside the nest from the first egg to feeding chicks and the first flight! 

Our Heron Watch volunteers will be conducting their usual wildlife survey.

Our photographic volunteer Alan Jackson took these incredible shots of nesting pairs high up in the nests - enjoy!
