Terns, Common And Sandwich

1961 , Blakeney (Norfolk)

Cat no. 140917

Anglia Television's 'Countryman' series visits Blakeney Point, the first nature reserve in Norfolk set up to protect a vast expanse of rare habitats for a range of wildlife.

Wardens watch over colonies of Common and Sandwich terns as they fish and raise chicks on the exposed, windswept dunes. Reginald Gaze shows one of the chicks close up to a group of visiting schoolchildren, whilst other birds protect their eggs closely. The feeding continues, Terns arrive with whitebait to feed the young and one of the wardens displays how chicks eat their small fish whole.
