In Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia we can see this series of photographs of gray herons working as a team preparing the nest, in Les Masies de Voltregà (Barcelona).
A spring scene: first we see the male, who searching near the Ter river, finds a branch; he flying he brings the branch and hands it over to the female to build the nest.
The herons that return to this area of ??the River Ter every year shortly before spring arrives, offer this spectacle in the Meandre del Despujol area.
The viewpoint is located in Les Masies de Voltregà and the nests are on the other side of the river and in the municipality of Torelló.
Gray herons breed in colonies, usually in tall trees near water. In this area, specifically, they take advantage of the River Ter.
Nests start out as a small platform of sticks, but can end up being a huge mass of accumulated material.
