England's most important tern colonies are showing signs of recovery after years of bird flu, flooding and increasingly unpredictable weather, according to new figures from the National Trust. The trust described the latest figures as encouraging, with bird numbers on the rise, but said work is still to be done.
The trust reported record numbers of little terns at Long Nanny in Northumberland, one of the UK's most important breeding sites for what is the country's second-rarest breeding seabird.
