Hampshire Roseate Terns fledge young (www.birdguides.com)

The pair of Roseate Terns nesting in Hampshire has successfully fledged two chicks, with the juvenile birds being seen around the colony at Normandy Marsh.

One of Britain's rarest and localised breeding species, few Roseate Tern pairs found are found nesting away from the species' stronghold at Coquet Island in Northumberland.

However, a pair settled in the tern colony at Normandy Lagoon in May – and the Hampshire Ornithological Society (HOS) initially minimised publicity about the birds. Photos later showed that both the male and the female had been ringed at Rockabill Island in Co Dublin, in 2017 and 2018 respectively, where an internationally important colony of the species is found.
