Terns are one of the commonest species along the North Northumberland
coast - their constant squeaky "rusty bike" calls are one of the
characteristic sounds of summer. They breed in large numbers on the
Farne Islands.
At Skogsøy
in Hordaland, SW Norway this species is something of a rarity, occuring
mostly during April.
