Seabird islands

26th May 2010, Wednesday


This is the current scene from the Parkes Hide at Ternery Pool. Black-headed Gulls nesting on the top of the islands now have large chicks, exercising their developing wings, lower down are pairs with younger chicks (they had to wait for the water level to drop) and lower still is a line of Common Terns that have only just started to nest. The fence in the water is designed to deter swimming Fox and Badger.
