Gronant

Little Tern 100
Sandwich Tern 20
Ringed Plover 5 inc. pair with chick
Dunlin 5

I love the Little Tern colony at Gronant, it's a vibrant, exciting place. On the edge of a huge beach, it's one of the few places left in the UK where Little Terns, who dare to nest on beaches, have priority over humans (and dogs). This was the second part of todays walk, we dropped down from Prestatyn hill to the village of Gronant, then we walked through a couple of caravan sites to the beach, and then along the beach to Prestatyn and the car.

Year 203 (Little Tern)



Little Terns. I'm not sure what the tern on the extreme right of the flying flock is doing, but it's not really paying attention to where it's going!
