This
species is a common breeder and even more numerous wintering bird in
Northumberland. The bird below was nesting on the shoreline near
Seahouses - these birds often have to lay multiple times as eggs are
washed away by high tides or predated. Disturbance by tourists and dog
walkers is also a common problem for these birds.
