Common terns
Any of you visiting today, sighting in the Sand Martin hide would of indeed had a good laugh at our expense! Putting the tern raft out in high winds was probably not the best idea in the world, but we persevered and it is now out and attached to underwater posts.
We have had the one tern in for a few weeks now and the second one appeared last week.
A third arrived this morning, so keep your eyes peeled for this truly beautiful birds.
