Common Tern




A glorious spring day saw my first Common Tern of the year on Cliff Pool.
Also present were two of yesterdays Common Sandpipers and a single Little ringed Plover.
The chances of the Terns breeding, as they used to, are getting more remote as the number of Black headed Gulls increases.Surely the ranger should think about putting in some Tern rafts to try and encourage the birds to stay or maybe go as far as a limited cull?
