I'm afraid it was a total of thirteen Common Tern but they are on a small island and seem capable of dominating it, in fact apart from a few B H Gulls they were the only "tenants"<br />It is always difficult to fathom out why birds on gravel pits often seem to vary using particular ones from year to year, but I wonder if the high water levels at Standlake Common this year made the Common Terns nervous of nesting there.<br />Good to hear from you, Best Wishes, Barry.

I visited Standlake Common reserve last week and was sad to find not one pair of terns on the site. I wonder why so many have favoured Rushy this year and yet none have been attracted to Standlake Common. Martyn RoperMartyn Roperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14873608412886742929noreply@blogger.com
