The Arctic Terns journey to its breeding grounds on the Northumberland Coast is an amazing story with the birds starting their journey in Africa and eventually arriving late April to early May. Within its life time (up to 25 years) the Arctic Terns can cover three quarters of a million miles, which in my eyes is an incredible achievement. Viewing a Tern colony is an impressive sight and one not to be missed. The colony protected by the National Trust at Long Nanny, Beadnall Bay, just has to be visited to see these birds up close.

These are a really good series of postings Steve, especially like Artic Tern, Shag et al.
Was wondering where to go 1st week in July but I think its Northumberland having seen your shots.
I am away to Dorset next week so hoping for something good, family permitting!
