Description: | This is a recording of calls produced by adult and young sandwich terns on the Norfolk coast. The sandwich tern can be seen during the summer months along sandy, shingle and rocky shores. These birds form breeding colonies, most of which occur along the south and east coast of England and parts of Ireland. However, smaller colonies can be found in northwest Wales and southern Scotland, usually on reserve sites. Sandwich terns are fairly easy to identify, with their jet black legs, crown and beak, pure white breast and grey upperparts. They also possess a short forked tail, most noticeable during flight, a yellow spot on the end of their beak and a loud ‘kir-rick’ call. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Bird Wildlife sounds Seashore | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Williams, Aubrey John | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
