Photo: Visit Northumberland www.quaymarinas.com 13 Common Terns at Royal Quays A Wildlife Success Story Over recent summers, Royal Quays Marina has become home to a thriving colony of Common Terns (Sterna hirundo). The birds migrate all the way from sub Saharan Africa to mate and rear their young, and in doing so they have become a notable feature of the marina in the summer months. The colony started from a single pair which first nested about 10 summers ago, and has grown year on year to a point where we now expect in excess of 40 pairs to breed. Initially with the Terns nested on a small patch site, and by erecting electric poultry fencing to keep out the local foxes, the colony prospered. However, whilst this patch of ground was very much to the Tern’s liking, they were beginning to outstay their welcome in some quarters with their territorial behaviour threatening the many passersby. The site had always been earmarked for development, and with our plans for a new cafe bar restaurant gathering pace, the decision was taken to provide a new home for them out of harms-way on a floating raft in the north west corner of the marina basin. A specially converted marina pontoon, complete with crushed shell and gravel surfacing, chick shelters, and rescue ramps to enable errant chicks to climb back on board, was launched and moored in April 2014. When the Terns returned from their winter break in early May, they were lured onto the new raft with hand painted clay decoys (a rather large net having been placed over their old home). After an anxious few days whilst they checked it out, we were excited (and relieved) when they took to their new home, and enjoyed a bumper breeding season – the best one yet! On the raft the birds suffered less from disturbance and passers-by and marina users were not subjected to the usual aerial bombardment. It seems that everyone’s a winner, and we are pleased that wildlife and a busy marina can co-exist side by side. These attractive birds are easily distinguished from other seabirds. They are lightly built, with long slender wings, a forked tail, a black cap and bright red beak and feet. They have a buoyant and graceful flight, and can be seen hovering over the water before diving for herring sprat and fry which come into the estuary and marina in great numbers. Mating begins with an aerial courtship with male and female climbing in spiralling circles over the marina to a height of a 100 metres or more. The male will pass fish to his mate whilst in the air or you may see them feeding fish to their mate whilst perched on the end of the finger pontoons. Two or three eggs will be laid in a shallow scrape in the gravel. It is thought that pairs mate for life, but as maybe one in ten birds don’t manage to return, some have to take new partners. If one of the pair is five days or so late returning then there is a good chance that the first bird may have moved on to a new mate. They can live for around 25 years.
