Migrant terns in the Camel estuary. 3rd Sept 2014


Sandwich Tern


There were several terns perched on the shellfish floats at the Porthilley end of Rock on the Camel estuary yesterday.

The sandwich terns were easy to ID but the others we'll call "Comic" terns as although I think most were Commons there may well have been Arctic's.

Anyway here are some more images!

Excellent shots Adrian, we had a superb event, hundreds if not thousands terned up (forgive the pun) in Hayle Estuary. Amongst them was 16 Black Terns. According to Steve, all six of the Terns we see was in the flock.
