Tweet Take 5 : Terns

Available for over a year

The arrival of terns, sometimes called sea swallows, to the UK coastline in spring is a welcome sign that these birds have completed their long migrations back to breed. In this extended episode of Tweet of the Day we hear the story of three species of tern we find around our coasts, the Arctic tern with Miranda Krestovnikoff, the roseate tern with Brett Westwood and the common tern with Michaela Strachan.
