Last year a whole bunch of enthusiastic volunteers ventured out in to Tern Island, in the centre of Pagham Harbour in Sussex (at low tide I may add) to carry out a vegetation clearance project (weeding) to ensure that there is plenty of open shingle for the returning Little Terns in April. It is an ideal opportunity to view the reserve from a different aspect, which few have the opportunity to do.

Looking great!
Thanks you, your help will be appreciated by all the birds that use the Island this summer
