One Good Tern Deserves Another

The North East Coast of England provides some great birding opportunities.

With the Farnes and Coquet Island not too far away, Sand Haven Beach at South Shields is a great place for watching Terns. We had a great morning here photographing the rare Roseate Tern, and fortunately we discovered a pair feeding two juveniles just off the rocks along the causeway. Plenty of Common Terns, a couple of Sandwich Tern, a juvenile/1st winter Mediterranean Gull, couple of Eider and numerous Guillemot in the harbour mouth. Not a bad day. A great place Glyn, thanks for the company. My year list has been static for a while so moves on to 217.
