Common Tern Ringing

 Every year we arrange for the Common Terns to be ringed by the Hughenden Ringing Group.  Pete and Steve from the group worked together to fit BTO and colour rings to the Common Terns and BTO rings to the Black-headed Gulls.

Black-headed Gull - Also showing is displeasure at the disturbance.
