End of Season Event

For any regular visitor to Gronant during the summer months, August is a dramatically different scene. Frequent change is what makes coastal habitats intrinsically interesting, but it's always an upsetting event to see the birds off. 'Our' Little Terns will now be feeding around the Dee Estuary, or indeed further along their migration route back to Africa. Following a great turnout of Volunteers on Friday, the entire site is now clear of fencing and the shingle is once again open to the public.    

To celebrate the 1st year The Gronant Little Tern Project's inclusion in the EU Life+ Little Tern Recovery Project, we are hosting a presentation evening to discuss all things Little Tern and to report on the 2014 breeding season, has it been boom or bust?! Dr Leah Williams from RSPB's Conservation Science department will be discussing plans for Colour Ringing at Gronant and elsewhere in the UK, and Prof David Norman will give an overview of his 30 years experience of ringing Little Terns at Gronant and what we can learn from it.

All will be revealed on the night and later reported on here. All welcome to what's promised to be an interesting and enjoyable evening!
