Plenty of Little Tern chicks running around the beach, see photos below taken yesterday.
We lost 1 chick, probably to the spring tide.





You can see the chicks easily enough when they run around, or when a parent lands to feed them or check up on them, see photo below of parent with 2 chicks.



When they hide, they blend in very well with the surrounding sand and stones, and are really difficult to locate, see hiding chick below.


There is still courtship going on with Little Terns offering each other fish in a ritualised manner, see photos below taken yesterday.









We are still marking new nests, both of the nests below were marked yesterday although the nest with the single egg looks doubtful to me, there is no proper scrape.
