Hello!
Phase One of the 2013 Little Tern habitat creation project on South Binness is complete. You may have seen the prominent machinery being used in the harbour by the apporinted contractor, BP Norse Marine, to unload shingle on to a short strecth of the west corner to raise the ridge in height to counter act the seemingly increasing high water levels during the breeding season. A further phase is to take place in late March which i shall endaeavour to keep you posted on. Phase 2 will be much more habitat focused, this phase was to create the foundations from which to work. Here is the first photo of many showing the barge being loaded used to transport the bagged shingle. (all of the white bags are for the RSPB)
