Tern colony 'flourishing' due to conservation work
Terns, like these Sandwich terns, embrace an abundance of small fish to feed on close to Hodbarrow
The highest numbers of some birds for 40 years are now being seen at RSPB Hodbarrow on the South Cumbrian coast. Slag waste from the process which was dumped along the sea wall provides the ideal breeding grounds for the beach-nesting birds as it is sheltered from the tide. Throughout spring seabirds and waders like oystercatchers and ringed plovers start to make their journey back to the site after wintering off the coast of Africa.
