As part of World Migratory Bird Day 2026 🐦 we would like to give a shoutout to the Grey Heron. 

Did you know many Herons on the Aran Islands are permanent residents. However they are joined by other Herons from Scandinavia and Northern Europe who migrate in Winter due to Inis Mórs coastal waters that never freeze 🥶

Herons typically build their nests in trees however due to the karst landscape of Inis Mór they have started nesting together in the islands sheltered shrubery🌿 forming a 'heronry' and is incredibly unique.
