The shingle area of the beach is much bigger than last year, stretching from South to North.  We put the string cordon around most of this and put the inner fencing on a smaller area. 

We now find that the Little Terns have nested outside the fence so we have had to extend both the string cordon and the electric fencing Southward.  This is an area that could be prone to flooding if we have a spring tide along with strong winds, so fingers crossed for good weather at the beginning of July when the next spring tides are due.

We have also had to extend the inner fencing Northward, so the nesting area is very spread out which makes wardening difficult.  Thankfully the hooded crows and rooks have not been giving trouble over the last few days.
