I wandered down to Parque La Pila this evening to see how well the birds had survived the Cheese and Wine Festival that ravaged the place last week. The Heronry, fortunately, looked still to be in full swing. Plenty of juvenile Black-crowned Night Herons, indicating a successful breeding period for this species.
Likewise plenty of Cattle Egrets in their breeding plumage
It wasn't a peaceful scene for too long, though. These young Night Herons are pretty nasty characters let me tell you, and a fight quickly broke out between one and Spikey, who thought that he ruled the roost.
But then their air squadrons launched some nasty missiles
Causing those caught underneath to take flight...
