Little Tern

 One of the most watched of the breeding birds at Spurn are the Little Tern .The wardens have done an excellent job so far this year with over 30 fledged and taken to the air already.Although it wasnt good to start with as the fox did its usual damage but all's  well that ends well

 Congratulations to the whole team .

 Persisting with the attack

 Until the Mallard decides its best to get out of the way

Job accomplished . Whos next?
