A total of 42 little tern chicks fledged during this year’s breeding season – the most recorded since 2006, according to the RSPB.
The highest number of little tern chicks for 17 years has been recorded at an island in Essex following work to raise their beach habitat above high tides.
The 42 chicks fledged after a project to raise the height of the beach, using 50,000 cubic metres of deposited sand and shingle material.Kieran Alexander, RSPB site manager for Old Hall Marshes, said it is hoped that the work will protect the little tern colony from climate change and expected sea level rises for the next 50 years.
“This adjustment to the island will help secure the future of the most important little tern colony in Essex, estimated to protect it from climate change and expected sea level rises for the next 50 years.”
