Légende

Heronry in Cobham Park, 1844. Herons at '...a small but very complete heronry in the venerable park of Cobham, near Gravesend. Walking, on a recent summer?s day...we were startled by the loud, yelping cry peculiar to the Ardeidae, and, to our suprise, discovered, immediately overhead, a busy colony of genuine "?three year olders" busily employed in tending their voracious families'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol V.
