Did You Know?
The old English name for a heron was hragra; other names now largely fallen into disuse include harn, hernser and hernshaw. Heron comes from the French, for the French name is héron céndre. In medieval times the heron was a favourite quarry of falconers who valued its great flying skills and ability to evade the falcon's stoops. Roast herons were also popular at medieval banquets: the young birds, called branchers, were thought to be the best to eat. The fat of a heron killed at full moon was once believed to be a cure for rheumatism.Today's Hadleigh sunrise: 05:52
