Graham & others
Keith Brandwood & I were at Penrhyn yesterday and had a max of 11
Little Terns on the beach. Also 8 Red Knots plus usual Godwits/Curlew
sandpiper etc.
No Whiskered Terns though.
There were a couple of terns flagged/banded which i have photos of if
anyone wants colour combinations.
Cheers
Dave
