Abstract
This study is a result of three years of observations on the heronry at Tabela House in Kota, Rajasthan. Small Cormorant, Pond Heron, Night Heron, Cattle Egret, Little Egret, Median Egret and Large Egret have been breeding in this heronry, which is situated in the heart of the city. A pattern in their spatial and temporal distribution in the heronry was noted and different species followed that pattern year after year. Availability of suitable nesting trees, nesting material, safety and foraging success has resulted in site fidelity.
