How much longer are we going to be able to see these beautiful little birds along our coast at Happisburgh with all the erosion of the sandy cliff faces

    I only know 2 artificial banks: one has been there for years and I'm not aware its ever had takers. Mind you the river bank is not far away and has a reasonable colony so presumably they aren't pushed for space and have no reason to relocate or expand, I think people hoped they would move or at least onto a protected reserve, but the birds have steadfastly refused! The other is only a recent installation this year (at Leighton Moss), so I think it needs more time to see if that one will be a success.
