This cache has been archived.

Knagur Green: Due to no response from the CO after the request to maintain or replace the cache, I am archiving it to, stop it showing on the listings and/or to create place for the geocaching community.

The Geocache Maintenance guideline explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival. This is explained in the Help Center

If the CO feels that this cache has been archived in error please feel free to contact me within 30 days, via email or message via my profile ,quoting the GC number concerned

Thank you for understanding

About the Grey Heron:

As the Grey Heron matures, it will display a black stripe above the eye, and a floppy black crest. It will also acquire a darker grey body colour, a whiter neck with black speckles down the front, black shoulders and a bright yellow bill and legs. Grey Herons are fairly uncommon; the more common species in South Africa is the Blackheaded Heron. Grey Herons spend most of their time near the water, and will eat most animals associated with water, even small mammals and reptiles.
