Triumph of UK’s

rarest seabirds

For the first time in 29 years, four of

the UK’s rarest nesting seabirds have

hatched and fledged on the Skerries,

off Anglesey.

The roseate tern chicks arrived in

late June, with two pairs having two

hungry beaks to feed but all four

healthy birds have now successfully

fledged as elegant seabirds.

With long tails, and beautiful pale

feathers – the slight rosy flush of

which gives them their name, these

endangered birds are affectionately

called “rosies”.

The birds fly each spring from

western Africa to nest at just a handful

of coastal spots in the UK and Ireland,

and thanks to RSPB staff who look

after the areas where they nest, have

this year bred in record numbers.

Work includes keeping the larger

gulls at bay and making sure invasive

mammals such as rats have not found

their way into the colonies.
