Looks like the Little Tern colony close to where I live is going to have a disastrous season. All they have to protect them is a small fence, and a few signs, erected by good people who obviously care. I was talking to a couple of blokes who watch them a lot, some of it is down to lack of food, the usual fox, and egg collectors. What it needs is a 6 foot high electric fence all around the colony. It is not that big, maybe the size of a football field. Who would pay for such a thing? the council, or the R.S.P.B. Would such a fence help? anybody have any views?
