National Trust rangers watching over Britain’s largest mainland colony of Arctic terns say the next few weeks are "critical", after 1000 chicks died from bird flu in 2023.

Long Nanny, on the Northumberland coast, is also home to a small colony of Little terns, one of the rarest seabirds in the UK, who were similarly impacted by the bird flu outbreak.

This year the number of adult breeding birds is lower, with the amount of nests with eggs down by 20%.
