After losing half the population to #HPAI #AvianInfluenza last year, it's great to see the @Lancswildlife #Seaforth #CommonTerns doing so well this year. Multiple broods of 2-3 chicks on the tern island plus others on the rafts. First fledged birds from elsewhere seen today too.

Common tern-bonanza during the weekend in Stockholm <3. The new golden bridge at Slussen provides a strange background.

Lovely having Sandra Bouwhuis over to talk about @CommonTerns at today’s @egioxford seminar. Great long term study with much relevance for current challenges to wild bird populations

Positive seabird news. 👇 Lots of fledged #CommonTerns at #Seaforth now with more to come still off the rafts. Some chicks are so well fed they can barely stand! Anyone know what the fish is? @bikingecologist @RoseateTernLIFE @leighlock1 @BillyBloodworm

Some much needed positive seabird news. 👇 The @Lancswildlife #Seaforth #CommonTerns are having a good year and remain free of any signs of #AvianInfluenza #BirdFlu. First three chicks have fledged with plenty on the new island and tern rafts not far behind them. #RSPBEcology

Survivors! 💪 #CommonTerns have been through the ringer over the past two years so great to see these guys settling down on the rafts and tern island at @Lancswildlife #Seaforth. Here's hoping for a #HPAI #AvianInfluenza-free 2024.

These heroic #CommonTerns fill me with joy. Over 200 killed by #HPAI #BirdFlu #AvianInfluenza @Lancswildlife #Seaforth this spring yet the survivors are doing their absolute best to keep the population going. 💪💚

Highlights from a sunny @Lancswildlife #Seaforth today were 2 #RedKites and a stratospheric #MarshHarrier over, boss numbers of #waders and a welcome increase in #CommonTerns, all of which are healthy 🙌 with the first chunky chicks adding to the joyous racket.

Despite the #AvianInfluenza horrors #CommonTerns have faced locally, great to see the survivors and their offspring doing well. Lots of fledged juveniles at @Lancswildlife #Seaforth currently from both on and off site inc this beauty rung as a chick on 17 June at #ConderGreen

The #Seaforth #CommonTerns were badly hit by #HPAI in 2023 with likely half the adult breeding population lost to the disease. But with bumper productivity last year and lots of chicks this year the colony is starting to recover very well. Current scenes are an absolute joy. 🥰 #terns #seabirds

This four year old (ringed as a chick on #CoquetIsland) #RoseateTern was performing brilliantly at #Seaforth on Saturday, calling its head off, display flighting and trying to impress the local #CommonTerns by offering fish. What I would give for it to be joined by another.... 🙏 #seabirds #terns

Relatively quiet at #Lodmoor, #Weymouth today. Lots of shouting #Cettis, #Chiffchaffs, #ReedWarblers though. Also #CommonTerns, #CommonSandpiper, #MarshHarrier & some #Shelducklings! Also a gorgeous misty morning. #UKBirding
