Along the Blackwater and Colne estuaries in Essex are several sites for some of our most threatened beach-nesting birds such as Little Tern, Ringed Plover and Oystercatcher. The Essex Wildlife Trust and the RSPB are working together to protect our coastal wildlife by creating the ideal habitat for beach-nesting birds, monitoring the populations and working with the public to raise awareness of how we can all allow Essex’s coastal bird populations to thrive.

The above article from the Essex Wildlife Trust includes one of my photos of a Little Tern .... see here for more information on this photo.
This photo was also used to illustrate an article on the breeding success of Little Terns in Essex in the Summer/Autumn 2018 issue of the Essex Wildlife Trust magazine .... see here.
Here are some of my photos of the other 2 species which are the focus of the campaign ....
