Locals are able to get their first glimpse of a popular bird that has started to arrive in Seaton Carew after a 3000-mile trip from Africa.

The legally-protected little terns are once again taking up residence on a small stretch of Seaton Carew Beach.

Little terns are the smallest of the five species of terns that breed in the UK and lay their eggs in shallow scrapes in the sand.

These nests are difficult to spot, putting them at risk of disturbance and damage.
