MIGRATING SEA SWALLOWS SWOOP IN TO CLEETHORPES FOR A BIT OF A BREATHER



Watch out for 'sea swallows' on Cleethorpes Beach during August and September. Because of their forked tails, this is the collective term sometimes used for Sandwich, common and little terns which nest on many sandy beaches around the British coast, but only occur locally when they stop off for a breather on their lengthy autumn migration to West Africa. Pictured are members of a group of Sandwich terns spotted at rest over the weekend on the beach adjacent to the leisure centre.
