bell 3,504 Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 ringed plover Used to love finding their nests up the west coast, they would do the old 'broken wing' trick and try and lure you away from the nest... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nik_B 3,790 Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Or black headed gulls Yes your right. I know there are some terns there at the moment, I think it's easy to spot them when they're in flight. When the Terns are here in full force it will be deafening, they live on a man made island and fly out to feed on the eels at sea, it's very nice to watch. Just playing Nick, can see the tern boxes, at least im assuming thats what they are ? Think they use them now after a few colonies of little tern chicks were wiped out by kestrels of all things..... I'm not brilliant at identifying birds, its a new thing for me and like most pic I took the photo not knowing what I was looking at because they were so far away lol, I normally google them when I look at the pics, I only identified the the Wheatear by luck because Malt put a pic up....funny how the day after seeing him pic we went out and saw loads of them That beach is famous for the huge colony of terns, mainly sandwich but also artic, there are some there but in a months time it will be rammed full of them, its a great site to see 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
