We estimated around 200, I also spotted 6 Arctic Terns flying through the colony and Common Scoter flying low over the sea.
There were also 2 Grey Seals bobbing around in the surf just opposite where I was keeping look out for any birds of prey. Luckily this week I didn’t spot any and while I was there we had no attempted attacks on the Tern chicks.
Although worryingly I did spot a stoat in the sand dunes scurrying away from the fenced area, could this be a threat? Possibly, add it to the list, Foxes, Cats, Peregrines and the dreaded Kestrels.
The guys there are always looking for new voluntary wardens please get involved and make a difference.
