Wednesday 6th August comments: The last ten days have produced plenty of Roseate Terns which are on the move from nearby breeding colonies and as a result, we've got some cracking photos of them so thought it would be good to share (again!).The birds are loafing around the jetty system on Inner Farne and we're getting up to thirty daily which are present all day.

In other news, migration is now swinging into action with two Green Sandpipers and seven Willow Warblers the highlight recently and hopefully it won't be long before we have even more to shout about in the near future. Bring it on!
