Resightings of Little Terns YN(BAV) and YN(BCH) at Beacon Ponds, Kilnsea - June 2025

 


Two of the Little Terns hatched on Blakeney Point in 2023 have been sighted in the colony at Kilnsea, East Yorkshire.


They have now reached an age where they are likely to make a breeding attempt. Last year, BCH was seen at Gronant, Wales in the breeding colony. An unexpected observation as young birds do not usually migrate all the way back to the UK after their first winter.


Many thanks to Tate Lloyd, assistant warden for the observations and images. We hope there may be further records of these terns throughout the breeding season.
