[3] Tern Raft receives first visitors
Success!
Sceptics thought that the Tern Raft project at Birkacre was doomed to failure. However, within a few weeks of floating the raft, a pair of Common Terns arrived and have remained ever since.
One bird spends a lot of time sitting on the gravel, which gives us hope that they may have eggs. Watch this space for further news!
