  • One good tern deserves another
    Jul 15 2025

    Join me on a trip to the Sussex coast for episode 1, where I’ll be meeting up with my good friend, Pete Hughes, Ecologist for the Chichester Harbour Conservancy.

    We will be learning all about the success of the Return of the Tern nature recovery initiative and how some nesting rafts are restoring the breeding populations of Common Terns to Chichester Harbour.

    These beautiful migratory seabirds nest on shingle, but this natural nesting habitat can be severely affected year on year by a multitude of problems including high spring tides and storm surges, resulting in their nest sites being washed away. The floating artificial nesting platforms provide the Common Terns, and some noisy Black-headed Gull neighbours, with a secure shingle habitat whilst long-term solutions are being sought to create more stable natural nesting sites.

    We talk about the importance of 3D printers and fish surveys, and how to get hooked on Tern TV!

    Tune in to the sounds of the seaside and to hear about the amazing work Pete and his colleagues have been carrying out.
